I don't mind it being that purple, it really comes down to the lighting. That may change the shade of the colour a lot, especially when hit with shades of blue and red light. Anyway, the design looks good, hope they will be able to pull off the 'sinking' of the burning staircase.

Broadway stages are also smaller than that of European stages. Color and space go hand and hand so I would not be concerned about the differences at this point. Its really a matter of how things will end up looking all together from the house of theatre.

Those are basically the Vienna sets (which smaller additions of the Stuttgart ones, such as the Enquiry room). But don't be too concerned about the colour in the photos. Remember those are just photos of mini-sets. And from what it seems to me, the "purpleness" is caused by the camera lighting and not because the colours are those. If anything I would be more concerned with the "metal-hotel" in Monte Carlo, but again, I'm pretty sure it won't be metal.
The staircase will not be sinking in the stage. That's already been decided. But unlike Stuttgart and St. Gallen, it won't be "connected" to the side of the stage from what it looks like in these pictures.

The second photo is a set that wasn't present in St. Gallen. Would you know what scene that is for?

Yeah I do hope that's not for the prologue... though I wouldn't mind it for the epilogue. Still, I think the current ones are perfect as is. I see no reason for a change.

Something tells me that photo is for Monte Carlo. The breakfast scene possibly. The show will NOT be that different from the Vienna production. Kunze's word. Just some small changes here and there. The Prologue, I'm sure, will stay pretty much as it was in Vienna, specially 'cause you can't go around doing new scenes when you have a massive set coming like the Monte Carlo Hotel. There simply isn't time to go around changing everything

Yeah, I just assumed that, since this is just the plans (I'm lacking the correct word here), they didn't bothered to go around producing more little tables like that one (which is different from the ones in the Hotel lobby). I can't imagine any other place where they would use that scenery apart from Monte Carlo. Unless they decided to sit down Maxim during the cliff scene where Ich draws him... (Unless the doll in the chair is supposed to be Mrs. Van Hopper and that is meant to be the balcony of her room?)

Didn't they add a new song into the show at some point? It wasn't in the Finnish productions, though. What's the setting of that new song/scene?

They added "Zauberhaft Natürlich" which is sung in the cliffs of Monte Carlo, while Ich is drawing Maxim (in St.Gallen) and during the wedding scene (which is no longer an instrumental) in Stuttgart.

Disappoiniting news, but the statement from Sprecher is very promising. I don't care how long we have to wait for Rebecca to open on Broadway. As long as we get a fantastic show, I'm happy.

Call me cynical (and I'll be very happy if I'm wrong), but I don't think a single show that "postponed" actually ever came in the next year.
