Trap door in Rent -
During Christmas Bells one of the ensemble members comes up out of the floor (to "sell things"). At least that's the way it was in '99 when I saw it in NY. They may have changed it. Anyone know?

I doubt if most of the people here remember this show - I loved John Lee Beatty's set for the play Talley's Folly. It was stunning.

"WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND - the use of the 'liftable' platform which covered almost the whole stage was brilliant, dividing the stage to 'upstairs' and 'downstairs' and making the ceiling of the stage when pulled all the way up."

Aside from Phantom, for me, anything John Napier touches is gold

A Chorus Line may be innovative in its minimalism, but "best"?

Talk about ultra realistic... the Act 2 set for the revival of Glengarry Glen Ross. How did they do that scene change during intermission? It was the only time I have heard an audience gasp when the second act curtain went up.

I always loved the Hairspray set. I was also really intrigued by "Broolyn's" Set. I thought it was very real and loved it alot. I think another set that was very real and made you feel like you were there was the revival "Odd Couple" set. I thought the detail was very great.
