It's actually an AMERICAN tradition which originated in Hollywood.\n\nThe Red Carpet is part of an illustrious history that began on October 18th 1922, when Sid Grauman opened the Egyptian Theatre. That night, a frenzied crowd of thousands lined the streets to witness the spectacle of bright lights and glamorous celebrities, many hoping to catch a glimpse of Douglas Fairbanks, star of the opening night film, Robin Hood. Even the local press was swept up in the mania. "This night is a most auspicious one for Los Angeles, but it is still more auspicious for Hollywood. It marks Hollywood’s advent from the status of a small town to a city of metropolitan importance, where world premieres are shown," gushed the Hollywood Daily Citizen.\n\nYet despite this unprecedented reaction from the public and the press, neither could have predicted that on that breezy October night in Hollywood, a tradition was being born that would come to personify the glitz and glamour of the movie industry even some 80 years later. This tradition is the red carpet—the magical place where movies, stars, and fans come together in a magnificent celebration of cinema. Whether it be the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes, or the countless movie premieres that occur every week in Los Angeles, the red carpet has played host to Hollywood’s biggest and brightest, drawing eager crowds of movie fans from all over the world. Because of its broad appeal and enduring legacy, the red carpet is as alive today as it was all those decades earlier.

The Fox Theater was once a centerpiece of "Downtown Brooklyn". In the early 60's, it became a popular concert venue for rock 'n' roll shows emceed by Murray Kaufman ( Murray The "K").\n\nDespite its popularity, it was torn down in the late 60's and The Consolidated Edison company of New York was built in its place.

Well, "The Producers" isn't all that new.  The original movie that is was based on is from 1976 (I believe).  The Broadway show started in 2001, and won the "Best Musical" Tony Award, and 11 other Tonys (the most ever).  All 6 of the leads were nominated for Tonys.\n\nPart of the appeal is that it is a comedy (to quote the show "The theatre's so obsessed with dramas so depressed, it's hard to sell a ticket on broadway"), but there is also a plot within all the silliness.  It also pokes fun at American culture, specifically the theatre-going crowd.  Also the music is written in classic Broadway style.  Just listen to the overture and it feels like an old feel good musical.

According to my House Manger at the Dury Lane Theatre at Water Tower Place in Chicago, "This is to stop the confusion between I and 1,  Just think are you siting is seat 1 in row I or is that seat 11."  Seems to make sense to me.

A century ago etymologists speculated that "story" came from some lost word "stairy," perhaps related to Gaelic staidhir, flight of stairs; or possibly from something along the lines of "stagery," derived from "stage." Others dismissed these as being obviously born of desperation, and for a time the experts settled on Old French estoree, a thing built. But doubts arose when researchers dug up such phrases as una historia octo fenestrarum, "a story of eight windows," from medieval Latin history books. Historia in Roman times meant history or story, and by the Middle Ages had acquired the meaning of "picture." So the charming notion arose that medieval folk were in the habit of installing rows of windows in their buildings called "stories" that were decorated with paintings or sculpture. The theory is that these stories, which for all anybody knows may actually have told a story, eventually came to signify a level of a building. Apparently as evidence of this practice, the authors of the Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins cite the fact that they once visited a Swiss-style hotel decorated along these lines in Lake Placid, New York. (Each floor was tricked out with a large hand-lettered slogan, such as "The only way to multiply happiness is to divide it.") At any rate, conjecture has now hardened into conviction. Believe at your own risk.

My manager at the last restaurant I worked at told us about some interesting theories.  One was that it comes from the dimensions of a grave (8ft long 6ft deep).  He also told about a popular restaurant in New York called Delmonico's.  Apparantly, the menu at this place had numbered items, the most popular being the Delmonico Steak, #86.  Since they would sell out of #86 often, the number evetually came to be used when they were out of anything. \n\nWhen I looked this up for more information, I found those two ideas and some other good ones at this site: http://www.dinersoft.com/askdave/davenov00.htm

The stage itself hasnt really changed that much it's almost always ben wooden planks much like the deck of old wooden ships. it makes it easier to nail things to and set up props. As far as the overall setting where plays where performed in those days you have to remember that the only lighting was either candles or sunlight. This actually made makeup nad makeshift special affects much easier because of poor lighting. also VERY few females performed on stage at the time most of his plays where performed almost entirely by men. Although having read the majority of his plays i dont believe these things had a huge impact on what he was writing.

There are a lot of ways.  One of the major ones I think of involve the "Deus Ex Machina."  Literally "the god in the machine," the ancient Greek playwrights were good at painting themselves into a corner and suddenly they would send down a god, often in a machine of some kind, to "save the day."\n\nSome Medieval and Elizabethan writers took this concept and modified it and when THEY got painted into a corner, they would use the "god" of their time: the king, usually, or some other royal figure.\n\nNowadays, to use a "Deus ex Machina" is considered almost pathetic because if you write a good play, you should never have to "save the day" using a God or a King (or any randomly-inserted character at the end of the story) to bail you out.\n\nThat's one way drama has changed.  Another is the "elitism" that has accompanied drama late in the last century and in this one.  In the Greek and Roman times, as well as Shakespeare's day, just anyone went to the theatre.  Now, people go to plays if their parents also went to plays and schools feel obligated to drag kids because otherwise they will not go at all.\n\nAnother way is the split between the "mega musical" experience (think Andrew Lloyd Webber) and the traditional drama.  The latter nowadays usually have as few sets, characters, and costumes as possible because, quite frankly, it's expensive to put on a show and we aren't patient with reusing the same set, actors, and costumes over and over again the way they would have been in, say, Shakespeare's day.  The only time we can financially support such a "big" effort now is to mount a big musical (where tickets are pricey).\n\nI'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but those are a few I can think of off the top of my head.

In Short\nBuilt in 1912, Garden Bowl is the oldest bowling alley in the country in its original location. The neon lights start flashing after 9pm nightly for Rock and Bowl--bowling to the DJed sounds of punk rock or rockabilly. The 16-laned Garden Bowl is in the mighty Majestic Theater complex, which also houses the Magic Stick pool hall, the Majestic Cafe and Majestic Theater where Harry Houdini performed for the last time. Because the Majestic complex is just south of Detroit's Cultural Center, expect plenty of Wayne State and CCS students. A hip crowd from C-Pop Gallery next door also shows up.

I think it actually came from the song. Was created specifically to go along with it. The origin of the dance is actually in dispute right now. See link below.
