Interesting interview with stage designer Derek Lane, and how his MOULIN ROUGE! set design came together...

Sorry if this was posted earlier - I didn't see anything here on the forum, but I might have missed it.

Jujamcyn should go through every inch of red tape with the Landmarks Commission to keep all that Derek Lane created in that theater. It is stunning.

Wouldn't that be incredible?  I wonder - sometime in the very distant future - when it closes, what would they do with that staging?

Why on earth would they keep a windmill and blue elephant in the theatre when this closes?! What a stupid idea!!

I really hope we get a nice coffee table book for this show.
