I've seen some great scenery in my theater going experience. Some of it danced across the stage and some of it just sat unnoticed. What are some of your favorite scenery experiences?
The 1980s House Of Blue Leaves where all the signs lit up between Artie's Prologue and the first scene inside the apartment. That show was so well acted they could have done it on a bare stage, but those signs were icing on the cake.
Of course, Les Miserables where Javert jumps off the bridge and "lands" in the water and his body washes away via turntable.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
I'd have to go with Phantom -- especially the glitzy Las Vegas version, which had box seats with life-size statues of fake period audience members. The chandelier, the device that moves the doubles up and down during the title song, and the staircase are amazing in all the versions I've seen. I just hope that the new tour, by dumbing down the set (i.e., making the show cheaper to produce), doesn't ruin the show. Getting rid of the crashing chandelier takes as much getting used to as a wedding where the bride wears a plaid gown -- it's not bad, but it sure is different from what people are used to.
