I saw the Producers recently and it had a plain black curtain. Is that how it is in NYC? I really do like show curtains, i think it def. sets the mood for the musical/play. Anyone else with pictures feel free to post, i love looking at them!

The tour just uses the house curtain, I believe. In Cleveland, it was orangish...and they just threw a gobo wash on it.

Could someone please describe the Millie show curtain to me? On tour, it was just a red house curtain.

its a white screen/ curtain with the dictionary definition of the word modern written on, it was then lit around the edges with a rotating color gobo

Jwei123,
There was a RENT show curtain? When I saw the show on tour, the entire set and everything was sitting on the stage before the show.

I don't really remember Gypsy's all that wel. However, I do remember loving the pink-ish stripes on the proscenium.

I also like Wicked's.

The Pillowman curtain was fairly basic (The name of the show bordered by a uneven zigzag box) but very in keeping with the feeling of the show (it seemed like a logo a warped child would draw). The lighting used on it at the begininning and endings of acts along with the incidental music set the tone for the evening.

Yes, could someone PLEASE post a link to a site that has pic. of the curtins!? Or could someone PLEASE PM the stuff!?

I'm just wondering, when did Broadway shows start abandoning the traditional curtain and start making their own individualized curtains? What was the first show that did this?

yeah, I like Wicked's curtain too, especially with the Time Dragon. And anything with an overwhelming amount of hot pink is awesome!

Les Miz's curtain was great.

Aida, LSOH, and Wicked.
