Posted: 1/24/09 at 4:30pmI wish they had expanded Shrek's set into the audience. Like, I wish the swamp motif had crawled over into the boxes and the upper part of the proscenium. It just seems like a touring show otherwise.

Posted: 1/25/09 at 12:54amI actually really like Shrek's show curtain a lot. I haven't seen a show use an actual curtain in awhile, it's usually some kind of logo. This is more of a drape, which is nice to see again, even if it is green haha.

Does Avenue Q have a curtain? And did Spring Awakening? I'm guessing no, because of the onstage seating? I've seen them both, but I'm completely blanking...
I always loved Hairspray's. Then again, there's something to be said for not having a curtain. Walking into Xanadu and just seeing the set certainly got me excited for the show!

The London production of Avenue Q does have a curtain though.

My current favorite is the Mary Poppins curtain. It's so elegant and beautiful, yet fun and simple. Well, actually, the whole set is breath-taking...
Also, for all shows that use a scrim as their curtain, there has to be another plain white(?) curtain behind it. For Mary Poppins (I don't think they had it in London) along the bottom of the secondary curtain there is a grass pattern that shows through. It's definitely a cool touch, and they use it in other parts of the show- the first thing I can think of is when Bert spells out Welcome for Mary...

KirbyCat-
Anytime I've done a show with a scrim show curtain there has always been a "blackout" curtain on the next fly line behind it. This way there can be lights on behind it for cast and crew to get set up behind it before the show, at intermission, during the show, etc.

Posted: 2/8/09 at 12:12pmThat's what I thought! See, I worked on a show once, where our curtain was a scrim, but they were too cheap to get a blackout curtain, so when the house was open, we could not go on that stage at all... But anyways, I always seem to be the only one sitting at a show that notices the blackout curtain go down about a second behind the scrim. Is there an actual reason that they come down at different times?

Posted: 2/8/09 at 12:55pmI liked the one for Boeing-Boeing and how you'd head an airplane flying every couple of minutes or so. Wish I would have gotten a pic!

Does anyone know why they use a curtain only in the London version?
I may be wrong, but if they change something in an international production, don't producers usually update every other production to match it?

Posted: 2/8/09 at 6:42pm^^ Probably because Londoners may not know what Avenue A and B are. Maybe just to help them out a little.
