This is a really random question, but I was wondering if anyone had any really nice pictures of the view an actor sees from the stage looking out at the audience. It can be an empty theater but I'd preferably love to have a picture of a Broadway theater.
Thanks!

While this isn't an entire view, here is the photo I snapped when I went backstage at the St. James. I'll try to get a better one next time.

Posted: 3/7/09 at 2:34pmI would die and go to heaven if I was standing on that stage with that full crowd.

I love that picture from Gypsy's last performance.
I would love to see Leigh Ann's video of it too, lol.

Posted: 3/7/09 at 7:15pm^In the Gypsy picture? Those are the roses that people in the orchestra threw for Patti during curtain call. I was in the balcony looking down and it just looked so beautiful.

No...not from Gypsy....from the Shubert. Another poster thought the pix was taken from Spamalot since there was confetti on the floor....but I think what we are seeing is spike marks.
Sorry for the confusion.

Posted: 3/7/09 at 7:37pmI think it's confetti. If you look hard enough, you can see some pieces of it on a few orchestra level chairs. Plus weren't the colors of the SPAMALOT confetti yellow and white? So are the confetti on the picture...or the spike marks if that's what they are.

Posted: 3/7/09 at 7:41pmIt's definitely SPAMALOT. You can see the planks of wood that jet out over the pit as well...

Posted: 3/7/09 at 8:11pmThose pictures of the Belasco are amazing!!!! What was playing there when you went onstage?
