i always kinda like the fact that RENT doesn't have a curtain. it makes you connect that much more with the show/cast, like you're immediately a part of their world

The little shop revival was cool, so was hairspray. I hates the billy elliot one and i wasn't a fan of the show. Mamma mia reminds me of a beach and is so tranquil. All disney shows have good curtains. Like in tarzan, they have a map of africa and notes from journals appear. Then 5 minutes till the show begins you could see the boat behind the "transparent" curtain
Post more

All for laura's photo of The Woman in White's "show curtain" was bit blurry. I found a clearer picture.
It's from the London production at the Palace Theatre.
From the interval: 
Notice how the doors in the wall are indented? That was a problem in the London production...only one side of the walls had the door in line with the rest. The NY production fixed this problem by having the doors on a track inside the wall, moving them back and forth depending which side of the walls were shown out to the house.

Posted: 1/13/07 at 11:10amThe palace theatre isn't as beautiful as I thought it would be on the inside. Maybe it's just the lighting.

I've never been there myself, but I do think it's the lighting...this photo from alexandrasilber.com gives it a better angle, but the lighting in the theatre is still very obtrusive:
I think it looks almost simply elegant rather than extravagent.

Posted: 1/15/07 at 1:22pmI was wondering if anyone may have a photograph of the Woman in White at the Marquis Theatre in New York? I've been trying to find one to look more into the difference in shape/size of the stage and walls between the London production (seen in my above post date 1/13/07).

Posted: 1/15/07 at 1:39pmI liked the slashed Sweeney revival curtain. Very ominous.

If anyone has a picture of the "Sweeney" revival curtain, would you mind posting it, I'm curious.
Although, I still miss the big red house curtains. They're always my favorite.
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

Cabaret in London. Sorry the picture is so bad. I didn't want to stand up.
The cirle in the "curtain" opens up and the Emcee is in there and that is where he sings the opening from.

Your ears and your eyes
Got used to the lies
But you're getting the truth today"

I really thought Spamalot's curtain was creative. Nothing extravagant or amazing, but I thought it was cool.
Esp. because it was my first Broadway show.
And, despite what was BEHIND it, Tarzan's curtains were really cool!

A very blurry pictures of the pre-show Jersey Boys set up. I took it without the flash, so any small movement messed it up.
I also had an opportunity to take a picture a close up of the bucket of blood in Sweeney, being in the first row on the left aisle, right where they keep it during intermission. However, being so noticable I decided not to. I didn't want to risk being kicked out of that wonderful show.

Posted: 1/15/07 at 8:04pmI can't seem to put my hands on my Sweeney program - is there a glimpse of the curtain in that? The curtain was bluish-black with hundreds of small diagonal cuts running from the upper right to lower left, as though someone had taken a straight razor to the cloth. They were actual cuts - you could see bits of the stage behind.
