Dave and I were looking forward to see The Book of Mormon musical for a while. Finally, The Book of Mormon musical arrived at the Opera House of the Kennedy Center in DC. Dave bought the tickets in advance for the first row of the balcony.
This is a picture of The Book of Mormon Proscenium (the stage opening) and Scrim (special effect theater curtains). I was wondering what they exactly mean, and I found the explanation from the playbill.com site: “The Proscenium, which is inspired by contemporary Mormon temples and other religious architecture, is filled with illuminated stained glass windows that transform in color throughout the evening, and is topped by the gilded (and rotating!) statue of the Angel Moroni. This frames our entire evening, attributing an important pageant-like quality to the story. The Show Scrim and the architectural panels installed above each of the audience boxes are inspired by galactic views of the universe, combined with an inspirational greeting-card-style sunrise to create an imagined vision of Mormon heaven.”
