While I haven't seen the show yet (and therefore can't really comment on the design) I thought i would post this pic of 'Shrek' that I came across today.

wicked_beast, you are so right. I'm actually wondering if Brian got the right musical? But I was at the Richard Rodgers this summer and I'm pretty sure that that's not what the inside of the theatre looks like.

Love, love, love this. Thanks for all the pictures and links. Ditto for "An Inspector Calls."

It is Shrek, I think he was trying to say it looks like another tarzan.

If anyone's got some, I would LOVE to see some pictures of the set for "Sunset Boulevard." From what I've seen in the CD booklet, it was quite impressive.

And if anyone happens to have some good shot of the set(?) for "Carrie," those would be cool to see, too. Yeah, I've seen the video, but it's really dark and blurry.

Sorry to give an unoriginal answer, but I love the set in "The Lion King." It's really deceptively simple, but it's quite complex in a minimalistic, creative sort of way. Most notably, I love the stampede scene.

I think the Legally Blonde set is amazing. The Sorority house almost looks like is a back drop, then bam, the windows fly open. Also, just the sets in general, I find amazing.

I also really like the Beauty and The Beast, Wicked, Xanadu, Mary Poppins, and Little Mermaid one a lot.

Billy Elliot (London)

Wicked

Sunday In The Park With George (revival)

Sweeney Todd (Original)

An Inspector Calls (loved when the house collapsed...didn't see that coming)

Shrek (If only the music worked as well as the set...the set is not "spectacular" like YF or LK, but it works very well)...like a cross between Spamalot and Beauty and the Beast

Spring Awakening (the simplicity works)

Show Boat (revival)

Kiss of the Spider Woman (best use of projections until SITPWG)

Oliver (London)

Witches of Eastwick (London)

Hairspray

My list of worst sets: Cats, Starlight Express, Follies (revival), Woman in White (projections and moving walls were too distracting)

I am very much a fan of musicals, so maybe when I see a play the sets stand out more to me. Two that really impressed me were The Ritz, all those doors reaching to the sky, the depths of the hallways, I was in the front row and I was amazed.

I also thought Amadeus had a great set.

Does anyone have pictures from the set design for the OBC of Mame. I love this show but have rarely seen anything from the OBC.

Definitely Beauty and The Beast! Here is a picture of my favorite part: The beast and the rose.



and one other pic that I found:


I wish I could find a picture of the castle. That was magical!

A set that is a birds-eye-view! How awesome is that???

I LOVE John Napier's Les Mis set.

When people talk about his set, they usually refer to the barricade or the turntable. However, I absolutely love the main set--the grey, brick walls, and scattered windows. It's ugly, but at the same time, I think it's beautiful. The overhanging wall upstage, framed by the cylindrical brick walls and supporting, wooden beams. I LOVE IT!!

(Btw, how do you post a pic on this forum??? I tried both the HTML and forum code and it doesn't work!! I have a really cool pic to share. I use Photobucket, btw.)

my oh my, if you are using photobucket just copy the "direct link" under the photo and paste it in your message. That's how I do it.

Peter J. Davison is a fantastic designer.

Maria Bjornson's work on The Phantom of the Opera deserves every award and accolade it has received. Absolutely brilliant designs. (Photos below are from the Copenhagen production, reopening from January-May 2009...http://www.detnyteater.dk/flora/flora.asp?page=13502)

WIW! the set for 13 looks AMAZING. I thought for sure this would be a small production.
