In case you ever cared or wondered (or wanted to live out a Liza fantasy), this is (sort of) what it's like to be on stage at Radio City. Minus of course the saw horses and that truss of lights hanging over the seats in the middle. Huge doesn't begin to describe it. (Oh, and I got yelled at by the security guard for taking these. Dunno, why, but he wasn't happy with me.)
This was our presentation from out in the house. That screen in the middle is 18' tall and 32' wide. That's bigger than the proscenium in half the houses on Broadway. It is in fact the exact size of the proscenium on the first stage where I ever designed.
And just because I think it's cool here are the controls for the famous curtain. Look at the previous picture, see where the curtains gather? Those little knobs on the left of this shot control those gather points. Each point has a corresponding knob here and you can change the shape of the curtain by moving those. All the little marks underneath the knobs are position markers for various shapes of the curtain during the Christmas Show. The whole thing is pretty steampunk looking, huh?
