I really liked the pre-show set up for seussical {rigby national tour} It was really cool they had a elavator shaped box with the cats hat poping out. the national tour was one of my favorite productions.

Posted: 2/13/09 at 12:35amI remember that! It like blew my mind that all those people fit in there. It was pretty awesome.

Posted: 2/13/09 at 12:43amI didn't mind the white box concept, but I did hate, if I remember correctly, that the entire opening number took place in that tiny little box. It was odd. I liked the Broadway vortex design a little better.

I remember the box was bigger than what appeard you would have thought there would have been injuries with everyone dancing in it. but I like that it showcased jojos imagination.

Yes.. because we can clearly judge the full ensemble when they are running around in the dark and a camera focuses on Cathy Rigby and her gratuitous flying. LOL. 
I swear, that woman would add flying to Diary of Anne Frank.. all the while cutting the cast size in half.

Posted: 2/14/09 at 1:18amWell, if you're gonna be rude, technically she wasn't flying. She was swimming. And flying was already present in the show before she joined the Broadway cast. They just added another sequence for the tour.

I have a dumb question. But is what IN THE HEIGHTS uses for intermission a curtain or a scrim?

Technically, I wasn't being rude.
Yes, I am well aware of how the Broadway staging worked.
And TECHNICALLY that is a FLYING EFFECT.

Posted: 5/19/09 at 4:16pmljay889, I think In the Heights just uses a black curtain for the intermission.

Yeah, just a black scrim.
I liked 9 to 5's curtain. It made me think the set would be more creative than it was.

Posted: 5/19/09 at 7:02pmIn The Heights uses a black CURTAIN at intermission. That is NOT a scrim.
#414Show Curtains
Posted: 5/19/09 at 8:09pmThe 9 to 5 curtain is interesting. For those who have not seen the show, it consists of multiple phone cords off the hook. Some of the cords reach all the way to the stage, while other ones have the phones placed in a symmetrical pattern. The thing that struck me is that the pattern is such that it makes a sort of dome in the lower center. It made me think that someone was going to come out of it, but that never happens.

Posted: 5/19/09 at 11:44pmSun gobo? What's that got to do with the show? Like, the sun-rising for the morning?

Posted: 5/30/09 at 11:10pmDoes anyone have a picture of the Hair curtain?
#420Show Curtains
Posted: 5/30/09 at 11:12pmUm... I thought Hair didn't have a curtain. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure it doesn't

Posted: 5/30/09 at 11:13pmWrong, it does. It has a flowly curtain type thing for the beginning of the show and no curtain at intermission.
#423Show Curtains
Posted: 5/30/09 at 11:15pmThe curtain is beautiful. Especially when it just drops and you see the whole set right then and there.
