"Welcome to Dreamland!" Here it is folks, the closing production of PTC's 08-09 season,
Miss Saigon. This one was quite a production with helicopters and lots of scenery. It was kinda like scenery tetris backstage. So take a look and let me know what you think. Questions and comments are always welcome. If you want to see more photos, you can find them
here.
Here is the
Overture:
Followed by Dreamland (The Heat is on in Saigon):
It took about 8 hours to setup and
wire the Dreamland sign. I also had to totally rewire the striplights that hang on the bar as well (hard to see in the photo). They did a 4
circuit chase in parts of the scene.
Moving into act II we go to Bangkok:
Check out the faux neon. We did that all out of
ropelight. There is also 250 feet of string light that we built, attaching lamp bases on 2' centers. It looks great with the 11W sign lamps.
Then of course there is "Lady Ace 09" the last helicopter to leave the US Embassy in Sigon on April 30, 1975. Also the iconic
image of the show:
For the sentimental types out there, here is one of Chris and Kim:
And of course, "The American Dream:"
Can you name all the people?
