<----- still the most expensive set ever on Broadway. This weekend spoke to a producer friend of mine (who also said that both SPIDERMAN and LOVE NEVER DIES are budgeted to supercede it) who confirmed it to me, as I thought it had been outdone (DOTV was 2002-3 after all). Not yet.

I am so pleased that this thread has taken off and continues to grow. I adore great set design! Let the photos keep coming...

Anyone know how to make these pictures show up in the post? FAQ is incredily unhelpful on this.

Ragtime at the Kennedy Center
Designed by Derek McLane

This might show my ignorance, but what show are those last pictures from? The set is spectacular!

[COOOOLkid]

Posted: 7/10/09 at 2:08am

I love the set for Ragtime!

[Byron Abens]

Posted: 7/17/09 at 1:42am

All from the Bregenz Festival on the massive floating stage.

Tosca











Un Ballo



Nabucco



Il Trovatore

And for something a little more current and closer to home for some of us, the current production of Camelot at the Goodspeed (and also because the designer is a friend of mine).

[BrianIdol]

Posted: 7/17/09 at 1:51am

Ragtime looks interesting...just going off of those pictures, I wish the set transformed a bit more from scene to scene...

[Princeton2]

Posted: 7/17/09 at 4:54am

LOVE those Camelot designs!!

[devonian.t]

Posted: 7/17/09 at 6:11am

That Ragtime set is an absolute classic!

[RippedMan]

Posted: 7/17/09 at 10:53am

Yeah, I agree BrianIdol. It's a really pretty set, but I would imagine after 2 1/2 hours, it gets a little stagnant.

I love the God of Carnage set.

This was the best pic I could find

[Leia947]

Posted: 7/17/09 at 11:04am

I always loved the stage design of "Aida". The swimming pool, the river... just beautiful.

[RippedMan]

Posted: 7/18/09 at 2:10am

Why would you like "God of Carnage." A) I thought the play was rather trite, and that they were trying to make it something bigger and better than it was. B) the set - with the exception of the white "picture frame," which was a rather obvious choice - looked like a standard community theater/dinner theater production type set. For the amount of money involved in the production it wasn't detailed, nor even that well designed.

I absolutely love that set design for Un Ballo

[inlovewithjerryherman]

Posted: 7/18/09 at 2:32am

A repertory double production of "Hedda Gabler" and "A Doll's House" from Temple University grad student Cory Palmer a couple years ago (I'm hyper-biased, but this is an amazing set.)

When pictures are available, they'll be posted.

WOW! Those sets for Camelot and Ragtime are awesome! Would love to have the chance to see that live!
And that Bregenz Festival...amazing!

My humble two, compared to those...A Tale of Two Cities, and The Little Mermaid (becuase of the effects, and I liked it better than Wicked...).

[bwaybabe2]

Posted: 7/18/09 at 10:52am

Thanks, Scott, for starting this thread...it is awesome!

Came back to say I forgot the first one that came to mind for me (that I have seen), "Phantom"...my memory stills loves to remember...

Oh, and BroadwayKing09, thanks for slippping some from "Little Women" in there! Updated On: 7/18/09 at 10:52 AM

we really need some amazing phantom set pics on here...
