jacobsnchz, The curtain in the Addams Family is really only used in a complex way in the shows first 20 minutes to a half hour. The curtain seems to shift and makes these little rooms with the curtains. Like it creates a box in downstage right while Morticia is feeding the plant. It really gives it the vaudeville feel. For me, it made it seem like it was like Gregory Maguire describes the Great Time Dragon Clock in his book, Wicked. How there are like little windows that open around the wagon so you can see what different people are doing. I don't know if I just made any sense :/

The Addams Family curtain looks like a regular house curtain, but is mechanized/designed to shift a lot like BroadwayBound115 described. Any part of the curtain can shift up/down to frame a scene. (and it serves an entertaining purpose in the opening...)

PS My profile image is the view of the curtain preshow from the partial view rush box. Updated On: 1/1/10 at 07:59 PM

Is it like the frames of the stage of the Legally Blonde tour? The edges of the proscenium moved all around to make little areas where the actors played their scenes.

Basically...except it's the entire curtain that moves. It's a very lush framing...vaudevillian.

The Ragtime revival just uses a red house curtain.

I really like The Sound of Music curtain. The Annie national tour just uses the house curtain with no lights on it or anything. It is such a shame because I love the colorful comic book set design.

For the person who asked about The Phantom of the Opera, the Broadway production has two different set ups. There's the setting for the prologue at the top of the first act and then a plain red curtain used through intermission and into the second.

Curtain for Act I:


Curtain for Act II:

I like the Ragtime curtain, but I wonder why the show doesn't have its own curtain...

I like the way sister act uses a curtain at the start, a different one for the intermission and none after the show is over.

Does anyone have fiddler on the roof, auugust osage county or Oklahoma?

I don't know about the other two but I do know that August never had a curtain for either of its houses on Broadway.

Oklahoma had like a blue sky with clouds painted on it and then when the overture segued into the melody from the title song, they projected the logo of the show onto the curtain.

Winston, if you are talking about "August: Osage County. It didn't have one when I saw it at the Imperial and it doesn't have one on the tour.

I know. I saw the show a few times and therefor saw it at both the Imperial and The Music Box, and at both theatres there was no curtain for the show.
