We looked at stills pictures of the original 1975 production and decided immediately not to go in that direction. In 1975 they had used very simple elements to change the space , such as a piece of silk to create the 'Road', We wanted our production to capture the visual perspective of today’s computer and I-Pod generation. The junkyard where the Tin Man is discovered had a broken Starbucks sign in it, for example. It was all bright, modern, primary colors, with about one hundred Vari-Lites and Martin MACs, several media servers, an LED floor and portals as well as a bucketload of stationary fixtures with scrollers.
