Goodness. I must be more observant. Thank you for this thread. I've never given the curtains any thought before.

I really liked Titanic's curtain with the schematic drawings of the ship.

haha random! I've never really noticed, but at the ogunquit playhouse for Hairspray AND Forbidden Broadway they had shimmery, glittery streamer-curtains in addition to the normal ones that were pretty. I'll pay attention more closely next time I see a show!!

Phantom of The Opera doesn't have a show curtain. When you enter you see the darkened auction set with many different items including the large chandelier all covered up. At the end of Act 1 after the chandelier falls, there's a red velvet curtain that comes down.

I LOVE the Young Frankenstein curtain. Although I mostly just love the title that flashes on it during the overture. It feels like an old horror movie.

I remember liking the show curtain for Smokey Joe's Cafe. It was the interior of an old 50s car dashboard.

The GREASE curtain is disgusting, tacky, and just plain horrible...so, yes it suits the production.

And A CATERED AFFAIR doesn't have a curtain...just the empty stage (don't remember what set pieces were on but I think the two fire escape ladders were on) with Winston's suitcase at center.

It's pretty effective, actually. Got me excited to see the projections.
It's a good year for no-curtain fans: 3 of the 4 Best Musical nominees don't use one. (I'm assuming Cry-Baby does).

I think curtains have a certain charm to them; having them rise and fall on a tableau beats the performers having to visibly leave the stage in my book.
