i always kinda like the fact that RENT doesn't have a curtain. it makes you connect that much more with the show/cast, like you're immediately a part of their world re: Show Curtains

The little shop revival was cool, so was hairspray. I hates the billy elliot one and i wasn't a fan of the show. Mamma mia reminds me of a beach and is so tranquil. All disney shows have good curtains. Like in tarzan, they have a map of africa and notes from journals appear. Then 5 minutes till the show begins you could see the boat behind the "transparent" curtain

All for laura's photo of The Woman in White's "show curtain" was bit blurry. I found a clearer picture.

It's from the London production at the Palace Theatre.

re: Show Curtains

From the interval:
re: Show Curtains

Notice how the doors in the wall are indented? That was a problem in the London production...only one side of the walls had the door in line with the rest. The NY production fixed this problem by having the doors on a track inside the wall, moving them back and forth depending which side of the walls were shown out to the house.

The palace theatre isn't as beautiful as I thought it would be on the inside. Maybe it's just the lighting.

I've never been there myself, but I do think it's the lighting...this photo from alexandrasilber.com gives it a better angle, but the lighting in the theatre is still very obtrusive:

re: Show Curtains

I think it looks almost simply elegant rather than extravagent.

I was wondering if anyone may have a photograph of the Woman in White at the Marquis Theatre in New York? I've been trying to find one to look more into the difference in shape/size of the stage and walls between the London production (seen in my above post date 1/13/07).

I liked the slashed Sweeney revival curtain. Very ominous.

If anyone has a picture of the "Sweeney" revival curtain, would you mind posting it, I'm curious.

Although, I still miss the big red house curtains. They're always my favorite.
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

Cabaret in London. Sorry the picture is so bad. I didn't want to stand up.

The cirle in the "curtain" opens up and the Emcee is in there and that is where he sings the opening from.

I really thought Spamalot's curtain was creative. Nothing extravagant or amazing, but I thought it was cool.

Esp. because it was my first Broadway show.

And, despite what was BEHIND it, Tarzan's curtains were really cool!

re: Show Curtains

A very blurry pictures of the pre-show Jersey Boys set up. I took it without the flash, so any small movement messed it up.

I also had an opportunity to take a picture a close up of the bucket of blood in Sweeney, being in the first row on the left aisle, right where they keep it during intermission. However, being so noticable I decided not to. I didn't want to risk being kicked out of that wonderful show.

I can't seem to put my hands on my Sweeney program - is there a glimpse of the curtain in that? The curtain was bluish-black with hundreds of small diagonal cuts running from the upper right to lower left, as though someone had taken a straight razor to the cloth. They were actual cuts - you could see bits of the stage behind.

No, there aren't any pictures of the curtain in the Sweeney program. It was a very nice curtain. Maybe when the show goes on tour, someone can get a picture then.

What does the Apple Tree curtain look like?
