Phantom of the Opera and Beauty and the Beast, although B&B's scenery is a bit cartoonish, but then again it's Disney.

Piazza - so glorious
Sweeney Todd - simple but really really effective
Festen - perfectly simple, shame it didn't transfer well

To add to my earlier choices ("POTO", "Evita", "Urinetown") I'd like to mention (and I know I'll get some crap for this) "Carrie".

Not ALL of it, but parts were kinda neat. Despite the disco ball, I liked the mirrored walls at the prom. The big staircase descending after the destruction was cool, too. I think with a new director (and some rewrites) that "Carrie" could be a good show. Not great like "Phantom" or "Wicked," but good like "Grease" or "The Woman in White."

I personally love Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Spamalot, and the revival of Sweet Charity.

BwayBaby, I disagree. I loved the rooftop and the dressing room mirrors, as well as all of those neon signs. I also thought the ferris wheel was pretty damn cool. But, of couse, the lightboard was the coolest part.

Ugh. Sets are my favorite parts of shows. I wish I could see what they look like. Do any of the more famous Broadway set designers have online portfolios?

Someone mentioned BAKER STREET, which I found amazing. Personally, I likes a little show called THE 1940'S RADIO HOUR, COMPANY and, of all shows ANNIE, which had simple - very simply - and yet technologically complex for the time sets. As a little boy, I saw GYPSY and CAMELOT in their original productions and can still close my eyes and see the sets in my mind.

THE KING & I (Donna Murphy revival)
This entire production was stunning from beginning to end.

AN INSPECTOR CALLS

THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA

SHOWBOAT (Harold Prince revival)

CAROUSEL (Lincoln Center revival)

I AM MY OWN WIFE

DINNER AT EIGHT (Revival from a few years ago)

AIDA (The sets were good, lighting was even better.)

I would say SUNSET BLVD, but the entire show was about the set -- because the rest of the show was 100% crap.

A CHORUS LINE (just kidding)

SWEENEY TODD (Original)
