I'm doing a project, and I need to pick a play (or a musical) that has 3-5 different sets. Something sort of realistic that would require architecture would be good, like "The Importance of Being Earnest". Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 3/12/09 at 8:23pmAll Chekhov's plays - Uncle Vanya, Cherry Orchard, Three Sisters, The Seagull - have at least three sets - usually one exterior and a couple of interiors.

Angels in America requires too many fast changes, and sets to be a doable project, IMO. I know, I've tried, and nearly killed myself.
Why not something like Sound of Music or Annie?

ALW's "Woman in White"
Everything from a train station, to a large mansion (both inside & out), a chapel, London, an Asylum, .. amongst other places. Also have to be able to pull off the ending/death of Glyde (which I will leave unspoiled!).

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Marisol, by Jose Rivera. I know several design professors who use that play as classroom project.
Shakespeare is also good to use for theoretical/classroom projects as there are multiple ways to go with any design concept.

Sorkin's A Few Good Men.
You go from DC for the courtroom scenes, to Cuba for the Gitmo scenes, plus there are scenes in Kaffee's apartment. Also there are flashback moments in Barracks and other quick scenes in the Brig where they hold the defendants.
Other than that, did you enjoy the play Mrs Lincoln?

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

"How did we go from Plays to Musicals?"
The original poster stated, "I'm doing a project, and I need to pick a play (or a musical)..."
I am trying to think of some and will post as soon as I do.
