Taking it back to my set for Joe Mantello’s production of Pal Joey - one of my all time favorites. #rogersandhart with book by Richard Greenberg- starring @marthaplimpton #stockardchanning #matthewrisch @jenny_fellner_ choreography by legendary #gracieladaniele and stunning lighting by #paulgallo & breathtaking costumes by @williamiveylong
1) onstage view under the false perspective “L” Train that circled the space with its curved, and also in perspective, brick wall
2) my first sketch of the scenic design
3) the model which shows the mirrored chamber that split the elevated L track and created a space for multiple locations to appear and move downstage . There were two turntables on the side as well
4) view of the stage
5) the dream sequence of Chez Joey
6) my first sketch of the Chez Joey sequence
7) stage view in the club set
8) the club
