SECOND Best Storytelling Show of All Time


Recommended Posts

Yep I mentioned them as my pick earlier this thread. It's absolutely phenomenal storytelling without being too literal

It's really impressive that the designers trusted their audience to essentially tell the story to themselves, without having to beat them over the head with it.

Santa Clara 1988 or 89, either show is fantastic!

Garfield - West Side Story was genius, musically and visually. Angels and Demons is in there too. SCV - Fiddler on the Roof. Crown, Rock, mc2 and Heaven and Hell (last year). Madison in 88 or 95. Blue Devils with Channel One Suite.

Not sure how or why I didn't think of it, but this popped into my head last night - SCV 2004. This should have definitely been on my original list.

That is one incredible list I can embrace. Thaks for ALL the reminders.......I so concur with The Academy's 2015 and this years 2016 "Drum Corpse Bride".....but I would also include their 2014' "Vanity Fair" as a story telling "Masterpiece'. Their developing "British flag" tarp, the entire length of the football field was, for me anyway, one of the visual highlights of the season. Salute!

Story?

They're more of a concept, but they still tell stories.

Pathways could be interpreted as someone trying to find their way through life with the many Pathways set in front of them.

Machine could be taken as a conformity story.

87 Sky Ryders was West Side Story. Nonetheless I would have it on the list.

Also, not sure what the story was in Rach Star.
