Maria did mention an an article that she thought she made a design error with the Hamburg and to a less extent the Toronto proscenium where it ended up in her view to being top heavy.

Painting for the back row, the Pantages in Toronto has a back row balcony that feels like you are 2 blocks away, to compensate, the Toronto makeup always filled in the skull crack with more reds and browns so you can see it from a distance. (Paul Stanley pictured above)

over the years of all the masks out there, Peter Karrie’s Toronto style is still my favourite (New Broadway style a close second) But I suspect it looks so nice because of Mr. Karrie’s bone structure, because when this same style is applied to others, it just doesn’t look quite as nice.

what leaffy candelabra the Canadians use to use, you can practically see every leaf on the spirals.

Remembering my first time fondly (except for Peter Karrie, I got his standby) I was a fan of the show for a full 2 years before getting to see it, with only the OLC and Canadian recording to go by, pre internet (92 - 94) no pics, no vids, so seeing it 3rd row center under the chandelier was at times too much. So most of it was a blur.
