Does anyone have BOM, Catch Me or Sister Act?
Heres The Wizard Of Oz in London. Apologies about the terrible photo but its basically just the show logo projected on a black scrim
And you obviously used your flash, which is useless when the item your are taking a picture of is more than 4 feet away from you.
I know it's not Broadway but...

'Oliver!' @ The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane
For those of you wondering, the 'safety' or 'fire' curtain @ The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane
It's not a curtain, but the set for "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" @ The Donmar Warehouse

I have BOM, but am not sure how you all post these pictures! Any help?

It's not letting me post the picture, but here's a link to The Book of Mormon curtain:

What's the curtain for Love Never Dies in Melbourne?
Theaterguy, thanks for the great shot of the Mormon show curtain and portal. Seeing that pre-show look, boy were we excited for the visuals Scott Pask would treat us too for the rest of the night!... (You can see where this is headed, right?)
Our own 2 cents are that nothing else in the show came close to the promise of this first look, with the possible exception of the home-made portal made of sticks and twine late in the show that imitates that first pristine show portal. Ah well...
Just got back from a week of 'show seeing' and thought I'd share some more photos of show curtains and 'stage setups'... Sorry if they're looking a little fuzzy.
Sister Act (intermission)
Book Of Mormon
The Normal Heart
A Minister's Wife
Jerusalem

Bump!
I really loved the curtain for West Side Story tour.
What was West Side Story's tour curtain? On Broadway they used a plain red and gold curtain.
Does anyone anywhere have one of the new version of Love Never Dies in London with the Opera House?
I saw it once someplace but the wuality was terrible.
I don't think it has one in Melbourne, I think it is just a black scrim or something
It was blue, and had graffiti that said jets, bernardo, sharks and things all over it. It was amazing.
That's cool! I wish they would've used that in New York. I have a couple pictures I have saved on my computer, how do I get them up?
"The Book of Mormon"
(I know there was one posted, but I managed to get a bit more from our seats in the mezz)
My issue with Wonderland's curtain is there was a dark and creepiness to it that set a tone that just was not followed up once the show started.

My favorite main drape. It is PERFECT for this show. Its the cover to the comic book we are about to watch unfold.
Anyone have the set up/curtain for Good People?

Can I just be a techie nerd for one second? Thanks.
One of my biggest pet peeves about a pre-show setup with a scrim/drop/whatever is whenever the actual drop is not entirely trim. When a scrim is trimmed, that means that it completely touching the stage on every part along the bottom. When it is not trimmed, the pipe that weighs down the piece is often slightly (if not largely) hovering above the stage at random points.
This is a simple fix, folks.
The most recent offender for me was Spider-Man and Wonderland. You can actually see how terrible the trim is on Spider-Man from Legally Broadway's lovely picture. (It is a nice scrim, but not a nice trim!)
