There is a theatre tradition where cast and crew keep a record of the cities they travel on the back of the set. At first the photos are of the venues..but later in the tour cast photos are used when they have already been to the venue. Then remarks are added. I loved this!!! It is on the back of set of the first scene you see in Wicked (the one with the gears) Love knowing that a travel history of the set is there. If those walls could talk.....I bet the First National Tour of Wicked could write a book, Ooops I mean a play.
Another fun fact.. most Broadway traveling tours bring their own floor which is attached to the existing floor of the Venue. Raises the level of the floor 10 inches. The sets are computer programed to get into position from moving channels in the floor. Also included vents etc..So high tech we can see why the show costs millions to produce. That and the talent, costumes, lighting, etc.....Not to mention Galinda's tiara budget.
Happy Fall
