The set reminds me of the recent Guys and Dolls revival.
Just about to say that, Wounds.
Hopefully it will be more successful. Promising pictures.
Love the Kerry Butler shot.. OBVIOUSLY.
Norbert, Aaron, and Tom Wopat look great.
The set looks awful and Kerry Butler looks horrendous.
Glad to see Brandon Wardell back in a show after his last Broadway outing - Good Vibrations. I'm sure this one will run a lot longer...
It doesn't look quite as "big" as I would have hoped/thought, but oh well.
I don't know if you are looking at the same pictures I'm looking at... Kerry looks FANTASTIC!
Those bangs look dreadful...

I hope this whole LCD = scenic design trend doesn't continue to grow. It modernizes live theater in a bad way.

I don't know if I like the set.
I'm not terribly fond of the "projection" phase sets are going through.
But I'm uber excited about this show.
These projections are getting old fast. They looked terrible and cheesy in Guys and Dolls and 9 to 5. Incidentally, both shows were/are flops. I'm very disappointed, but I'm sure they poured too much money into these sets to change them before Broadway.
A note to all future producers and scenic designers: Broadway audiences have imaginations. Even the simplest set can represent the grandest landscape - we don't need giant TV screens behind the actors to set the scene. But thanks.

Hmm? the colors are a bit dull. Works for a film but doesn't look well on stage.

I like the file cabinets office set, but that's about it.
Because of the integration of the orchestra and the lack of a physical set, am I the only one who feels like I'm looking at an Encores! production?
Kerry Butler looks incredible for 38.
"Kerry Butler looks incredible for 38."
DANG! I wouldn't have guessed she was 38... I agree. She does look incredible!
I think Kerry looks great.
Well that was underwhelming
"Because of the integration of the orchestra and the lack of a physical set, am I the only one who feels like I'm looking at an Encores! production?"
YES! A "real" set is needed for a flashly Shaiman production. This minimalism just doesn't work on the larger scale.
I do not like this trend of using a giant video screen in lieu of a set. Norbert is nearly unrecognizable in that picture. Aaron looks great, though. I still have hopes for this show, even if I don't immediately like the set.

I never ever thought I'd say this, but Norbert does not look hott at all.
Norbert looks SO HOT.
But Aaron is DROWNING in that letterman jacket

LET'S JUST SAY... I LOATHE IT ALL!
Wow, not excited about it at all. Band on stage and projections? Looks horrible. I am seeing it in a couple weeks so I will report back about the actual show, but I am not a fan of the design...at all. Looks cheap.
looks more like a concert...any chance the set isn't entirely done yet?
