The curtain at the beginning of 'Memphis' from the box seats. I liked how they had it so it looked like the water was moving.
I wouldn't dare take one a Memphis. They have a nazi usher.
Also, what is with the piece of something that hangs off the proscenium the entire show? It doesn't do anything & disrupts the view.
I managed to snag that one. Didn't dare try again during intermission.
And I can't say I really noticed anything hanging, so idk.

Please TheatreFan4: I do not live in the United States. Could you tell me about the set you've posted in the last message? Thank you in advance. Best, Will.

How does the proscenium disrupt the show, TF4?
From where I sat it cut off a bit of the heads of people on the hanging street set piece.

^ From the balcony, you don't fully see the TV-like screen curtains during Heuy's television show.

Me too. When standing on the stage. The theatre seems pretty small. Next time I see the show, I'll get mezz seats.
Gotcha. I was in the orchestra, so I guess I shouldn't talk.
Oh, I have no clue what's up with that thing; I never noticed it. I was in the box seats (yay, student tickets) so I was partial view anyway (when it came to things on the far left side). I couldn't see the screens for the most part anyway, but you can't beat $26 for a show!
I sat front row of the mezz and saw the entire stage fine. I love the curtains before the show and during intermission. However, there were some times when that steel truss? is it? was blocking some of the stuff in the street set piece.

This is gonna sound dumb but in Night Music, how do those pictures that appear in the glass work? Does someone put them there or are they on a track or something?
American Idiot from the house left box:
Addams Family
Promises Promises
Memphis front row
In the Heights front row
Night Music
next to normal front row
Rock of Ages
I love, love, love Night Music's set. David Farley does a masterful job with those Menier scenic designs.
Oh and for any other teenage guys on here, if you rush ALNM and get front row seats, Bernadette will make eye contact with and address you during her "We women have the right..." speech.
What is the curtain for the new revival of Mrs. Warren's Profession? And does anyone have a picture? Thanks.
Anyone have 'All Shook Up'?

I loved Memphis and Addams Family had a gorgeous... and spooky curtain.
The proscenium was fine in orchestra, but I actually was wondering how it would block sight lines up in the mezz. obviously it did.
This one is a bad photo... last minute tickets :/ Legally Blonde :)

Anyone have the pre show set up/curtain for Toxic Avanger or Young Frankenstein?
