Was just looking at some pictures of the theatres over at the West End and am in awe of how extravagant some of their facades are. We tend to not have as detailed and disney-esque marquees in New York, but was wondering which marquee treatments have stood out to you as favorites? Some more extravagant ones that came to mind are attached here:

I think there is a thread already, if you want to try searching around? But it will probably have a lot of cool pics and stuff. But I totally agree. I think the Marquee is a lost art form. I can't think of any really interesting/different marquees from the past few seasons. No one has really redone/redecorated the outside of their theaters. Maybe it got too expensive? I don't know why more shows don't do that.
