The Play That Goes Wrong has the best set that Broadway has ever seen. But you can't just see a picture of it, you have to go see the play.

Peter Larkin's set for THE RINK was mentioned earlier in this thread. Many reminisced about the final moments in the show when the set flew out. Here's video of that moment that has just been posted on YouTube for anyone interested.

ARTc3 formerly ARTc. Actually been a poster since 2004. My name isn't Art. Drop the "3" and say the signature and you'll understand.

I too saw these musicals in 2015 and thought they were both so perfect...the sets for AN AMERICAN IN PARIS really did make me want to visit Paris, which i actually did in 2017...finally...

Without a doubt the one for the play I saw last night.
Lizzie Clachlan's set for Simon Stone's YERMA at the Park Avenue Armory.
In a typical show, Clachlan's set might well be all everyone would be talking about. Or certainly at the top of the list of assets.
In this YERMA it is just one of the elements - sound, staging, performance, music, writing, a phenomenally talented leading actor who is giving the performance of her or anyone's lifetime, even the choice of the performance venue itself - all of which are seamlessly brilliant.
Not. To. Be. Missed.
But back to the set.... That it is technically consummate is almost beside the point. What it makes you feel is that you are watching intimacies one should never be permitted to see - taking one where one needs to go to unravel how the hell that sensationalized thing you've heard happened to some people you wouldn't otherwise have known could ever have really happened.

I'm a huge set design fan as well!
My personal favorites are:
Great Comet
Dear Evan Hansen...
Ugh, this is too hard. Can I just say all of them?

Higgin's study in this production of My Fair Lady is breathtaking.

Thanks for that gem, morosco. That set for She Loves Me was beyond brilliant.

The set for THREE TALL WOMEN is like a fourth character in the play. One of the most striking sets I've seen. No details - it has to be seen to be understood.
