My favorites have all been mentioned, but I really love the sets of Aida, Wicked and Fiddler.

this may be a dumb question but what did they do different between the Broadway and tour sets of Titanic? I only saw the tour.

The topic is "sets you ENJOY" not "Your FAV. set(s)"

I have 3 main ones that I loved:
1. WICKED- I LOVED how they incorperated the dragon clock stage with the show.

2. RENT- its one set, with diff. areas, used multiple times for diff. places, and draws you to focus on the story, meanings, characters, and everything else

3. Gypsy(w/ Bernie)- I thought the set was VERY appropreate. Since it is about a stge mother, and the back was the back stage( or something like that) I thought it was a very good choice!

The Producers. Maybe it's just because I got to tour this set that makes me like it or maybe it's the hilarious old "ads" in Bialystock's office...or maybe i'm just an old sentimental fool...

Rent's is so under appreciated. People look at it and say "Ew, it's just brick", but it's so beautiful. Wicked, though, holds the spot for my all time favorite set.

Well, considering I'm currently on a RENT and Cary Shields high (Just came back from a full Saturday at NYC... and saw RENT, obviously), I'd have to say that set is greatly underappreciated.

I love how it's intentionally ghetto, heh.

Avenue Q's is just awesome.

I have always loved the sets in Beauty and the Beast. Also enjoy the Avenue Q set -- the buildings there are extremely realistic.

The Boris Aronson sets for Fiddler, Company, Follies and A Little Night Music told you what the show was about just as much as the book, lyrics and music.

There is a coffee table book about his sets with a text by Frank Rich. It's worth hunting down.

Aida
I also really thought that the set for Rocky Horror Show was very fun.

Sunset Blvd....(not the tour) was one of the most beautiful sets I've ever seen on stage. Very ornate and detailed. If I think of sets, that's the one show that made my jaw drop.

I'm a set junkie... I loved Sunset Boulevard, Showboat (Revival), Aida had gorgeous use of color, but that was mainly aided by the stunning lighting... Take Me Out was very cool.
