KA (Unfortunately this isn't Broadway but Las Vegas, it counts though as it's one of the most lavish productions in the history of theater!)

Follies
Xanadu
Wicked
From what I've seen, the original Company
All time greatest for me is The Drowsy Chaperone.

original Company was really cool as was the original Follies
However, the original London Follies was even more spectacular.

dirty rotten scoundrels was pretty impressive to me... it was obviously relatively inexpensive but it fit the cartoonish behavior of the characters.
Drowsy is probably one of my favorites as well.
If this were opposite day I could also mention The Little Mermaid

My all time favorite set was the one for the 2006 McCarter/Papermill PLayhouse productions of A Misummer Night's Dream with GroovoLily and Lea DeLaria. I wish I could find some pictures, it was truely an amazing and innovative set.

My other favorite would definitely be the revival of Sunday in the Park With George. The projections made the show even more beautiful (if that is even possible).

The Little Mermaid.
No, but seriously...I like the sets of; The Lion King, My Fair Lady, Mary Poppins and Wicked.
Even the sets for Legally Blonde are quite cool, I like how slick they glide in and out.

I think the original Beauty and the Beast sets are stunning, the Beast's castle was amazing to look at for it's sheer size and attention to detail despite how big it was. And everyone gasped when the curtain went up in the title number.
Other than that, I've heard that the house in Mary Poppins is really something, bu having seen only pictures I can't really give a personal opinion.
I love those pictures of the SITPWG sets though!

I really hope there are some set photos of the Mary Poppins the musical in London and Broadway and esp the UK Tour which opens up differently like a book rather than a doll house!

Well, I'm going to defend the Little Mermiad. Is it the best set ever? No. But I think it's very imaginative and 'out-there' and I applaud that. It was a brand new way of looking at a traditional fairy tale.
