I saw an interesting concept another site and thought it was worthy of another look here "I envisioned the whole stage being a huge toilet where you saw only the top portion, seat, lid and tank. The toilet was so large that it becomes the stage and the show is played-out on top of it and on top of the tank at various levels. With the action of a huge flush handle the seat and lid would come down to close and rise to open. This was an imagined “Main Curtain” of sorts. There might even be a trap door for actors to exit the stage from the “bowl area” as if they were being flushed down the bowl." Credit to Bil the Acct Commentator and Visionary.

This picture is really ugly from the flash, but it gives you an idea of what we did.
Under the platform center stage, we had 3 rolling flats. One with the public ammenity (pictured), one for Cladwell's office, and one with Bobby's outline painted on it after he fell to Urinetown.
Great show!!! Good luck!

Wow, we have that same spiral staircase. We used it for FAME and I ripped the fudge out of a shirt on it (awesome SM we had).
