The Brooks Atkinson Theater was used as a CBS television studio in the 1950s. "What's My Line", "To Tell the Truth" and "I've Got a Secret" where all done in this theater.

[@jessg417]

A swing is more like an intense understudy - they aren't assigned a specific role but basically learn a sprinkling of parts from the show (ie a female swing may learn all or 3/4 of the female parts in the show). Different shows do it differently but sometimes the swings sit backstage or are on standby at home ready to fill in for pretty much any of the characters they've studied in case someone can't perform. It's basically someone who understudies most of the roles if that makes sense!

[@jitterbugdancer]

She is stunning!

[@denk005]

ELPHIIEEE AHHH

[@chloeacquaviva3081]

Max has the same dressing room as an acadamy award winner

[@Confessional24]

Did Greg Hildreth start out as a dresser? Because Greg had the same clown picture as Max in his dressing room in Cinderella.

[@ryanhustedt9101]

I was wondering that too ... Perhaps that's a picture that just stays in the theatre if it's the same theatre. Or something like that
