Day 118… It looked like they were loading out Frozen yesterday. Like the end of a relationship, the main thing that happens when a Broadway show closes is the moving out. The set goes into storage if you think that the pieces might be useful for a future tour, or they just end up in a dumpster. The lights and sound equipment are returned to the rental company, costumes and wigs are sold to a rental shop or, again put into storage for a future tour. The crew gets an extra two weeks of work while this is going on. At the end of it, the theatre is restored to a an empty four-walled space ready for the next show. The marquee is taken down and… that’s it.
