The exterior of the theatre was bright and alive. Bright lights showcased the imposing architecture and long posters featured several principle dancers of the show.

The lobby was already filled with early guests whom anticipated the several grand doors to open. Several panels showcased the featured musical artists that had music for the production. Each panel showed different information about the success of each band and held different pieces of memorabilia. Other panels were dedicated to the creation of this unique ballet. Several treats and refreshments were available for purchase.

Away from the backstage, the theatre appeared as elegant as ever. Candles of varying sizes brought illumination inside the theatre and down the aisles. Ushers in simple black and white tuxedos appeared polished and patient, waiting for the doors to open and guide people to their seats. The walls and ceiling were made of both dark wood and light marble; designs both simple and bold that naturally drew the viewer?s eyes to the stage.
