"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Holy smokes!

Too bad those SWEET CHARITY photos weren't taken with the actual stage lighting. They look like they were taken in a warehouse due to the bright lights beaming onto the sets and flats.

I can't believe how quickly this thread died. It's a treasure trove! I'm getting several of these images printed to put on my walls.

Thanks so much for passing this on... I've been searching for a while now...

Somehow I ended up searching Mary Poppins, and all these pictures came up from a 1949 TV show for MARY POPPINS... starring Mary Wickes (who I knew first and foremost from Sister Act... but she was in so many things) as Mary Poppins.

Does anyone know about this!? Search it and have a look... the photos are very interesting

Same here with the having never seen most of these before.

I had a couple from SWEET CHARITY printed and matted in frames for my NY office. Thanks to the high resolution photos, the print quality is mouth-watering sharp and detailed.

Wow!

The most amusing thing about this archive is the more famous shows don't always get bigger amounts of photos,some very obscure shows often get the the greatest collection.For example,there are few photo of the original stage production of Carousel.But there are dozens of photos of the short-live Three Wishes For Jamie.This give us a chance to see clearly how some less known shows look like on stage which I never imagine could be possible.Do you know they used the paintings of Picasso,Dali,Chirico and Benton in the set of One Touch of Venus? Well,I don't.

Also,there are some very fun pictures,like this: http://images.google.com/hosted/life/l?imgurl=fa0f4408eaf71ff8&q=Mister+Roberts+++source:life&usg=__NaXd0dWzZsWb2mledcQU4Lt1Qog=&prev=/images%3Fq%3DMister%2BRoberts%2B%2B%2Bsource:life%26hl%3Den%26newwindow%3D1%26sa%3DG
