| This show posed very challenging choreography issues. There was a large amount of scenery and props that needed to inhabit the stage. A very detailed list of storage areas, as well as what order things would strike and be set up in had to be created. ACT 1 was set up and stored in the upper shop. The base of the unit was a castered raked platform. The SL wall was a series of hollywood flats while the SR wall was a canted window unit that was constructed of 1-1/2" T bar and 1/8" plexiglass. |

While Act 1 was being set up in the upper shop Act 2 was being constructed on the stage. This set consists of two walls that break at the center. They were then pivoted by the stage crew until they were parallel to the plaster line. They would then clip to trusses and fly out on chain motors. The chandelier was also spot on a chain motor and would strike to a cart. | |

| Act 3 was also a single castered wagon. This unit stored directly upstage. The curved walls were plywood ribbed flats that were skinned in 1/8 masonite and then covered in a leno scrim. The windows are are 2" steel box tube frames. The Platform is constructed out of 2x12 and was chain motored up as a unit and set in place. |
