Here's another decent shot... The ship is a bit hard to see in this one though...

The opening to Tarzan looks magnificent!! Am I wrong for thinking this or was it really the opening that good?

No, the opening was INCREDIBLE. Just the rest of the show sucked.
I mean, there was no opening announcement or overture, just you heard thunder, and the curtain lit up as the ship rocked more. As lights flash on the curtain, the ship fabric drops to the stage and you see Tarzan's parents "swimming" behind the scrim. Beautiful.

This is a stretch I think, but does anyone have a pic of the opening curtain for Shrek in Seattle? I think I remember what it looks like, but I want to jog my memory. Is it like a globe where the continents are made of twigs?

Ugly.


I LOVE the new one though.

I loved all of Tarzan, but most people seemed to agree that the rest of the show didn't live up to the opening sequence.

The Seattle one looked really cool in person. Not just an explosion of dripping green puke like the Broadway one! Not that I dislike the Broadway one though.

I mean, to me, this one seems more pukey covered... AND you can see those speakers in front of the proscenium.

I don't think there is one.

I love the Wicked curtain! Even the side scenery is amazing!
I think 9 to 5's curtain was neat...I just liked the look of the telephone cords! Although a little simple. I really loved Hairsprays! The one that really pops out in my mind is The Lion Kings!!

A sloppy photoshop rendering of the original Les Mis show curtain superimposed upon an actual photo of the set from the Duisburg production.

The Addams Family curtain (looks simple, but is actually quite complex!)

My current favourite is from WONDERLAND - Alice's New Musical Adventure!

It's the looking glass-mirror-esque thing, with a door tacked onto the front (used a lot). Images flashed on both sides of Alice, the Caterpillar and his hookah, the Hatter talking, the white rabbit, etc.

Here's just one shot of it:

Does anyone happen to know what the NINE curtains looked like? The original production and/or the 2003 revival?

What about the Bye Bye Birdie curtain?

[AwesomeDanny]

Posted: 1/1/10 at 4:20pm

I don't know for sure, but I read an article on playbill.com about the new Henry Miller's Theater and it had a picture of the theater and it used the classic red curtain.

Yes, Bye Bye Birdie has a regular red curtain. You can see it in this video...

Thanks for that... :)
CrazierThanYou, how do you mean that the Addams Family curtain is complex? Is it used somehow in the opening?
