Not everyones favourite musical, but the special effects and set were amazing in Young Frankenstein.
Whin it makes its return from New York to Transvania it goes via London!!!

Not everyones favourite gig, especially New York critics, the set and effects in Young Frankenstein were amazing.
Hope when Frankenstein leaves New York to Transalvania in January, it does so via London.

Who could forget rhe wonderful split stage and the grand staircase and swimming pool in the original Sunset Boulevard.
P.S. wish I could find a image of the original split stage.

Everyone I know, who has seen Phantom were amazed including myself. I do not think that Phantom has been beaten for a spectacular?

Think it is fair to say, 'The Lion King' staging blew everyone away.

PhantomOfLondon needs to learn about responsible image widths...though adblock pro works in the meantime.
And I always found Lion King to be extremely boring after the first five minutes.

The Who's Tommy
Broadway, 1993
Designed by John Arnone
Now this was a bloody spectacular! Extensive use of projections and automation, brilliant colour designs (going from b/w for the war scenes to oversaturated colour after tragedy to b/w again at the end), pioneering video work, and a sequence which turned the entire venue into the guts of a pinball machine.

The chanderlier is grand, so should be a big image, in fact I was dissapointed I got such a small one, hoping to get a bigger image.

I have to admire the little shop set when it transferred to The Ambassadors, purely because of the way they optimized the small amount of space they had there by having the shop, and dentist surgery, spinning out from either side.
Same set as previous theatres, but different layout due to TINY stage for those who saw it at a different theatre!

That Tommy set looks amazing.. do you have any other pictures?

You can see a few more small pictures on the designer's website (linked below.) While I have some nice large images, they're in my copy of the Tommy collector book and I don't have a scanner. The book, however, is well worth tracking down if you can find it and I got my copy years ago for $5 incl. shipping on eBay - and still in the shrink wrap no less!

Certainly when Chitty flew across the audience at the Palladium, the audience gasped, it would be fair to say that Chitty passed her MOT.

I do not know how to put more than 1 image in, I like to find out myself?
I have not been to the strip, when I do I like to check Phantom out, as it is meant to be visually stunning.
Also while out there I would also the opportunity to see Cirque du Soleil production of 'Ka'. The most expensive production for theatre ever, I understand the final bill for the production was $200m a budget that dwarfs a Broadway show which at tops is about $15m, this production has more spent on it, than a lot of films, the host venue took 15 months to rebuild, even the seats have there own personal speakers.
Definitely one to check out when I get to Vegas.
