Hey!
We just did it in February and its one of our favorite shows to date. There are a few tricky things, the minotaur (we built him based on a backpack frame), the sword that's a pen (we used hidden places and choreo to make it 'appear') We did use some lighting tricks to hide some appearances and disappearances of characters (light bars from Amazon that would flash forward). We used scaffolding as the basis of the set and that worked really well for levels and hiding places. The centaur attachment was interesting. We went with a weight belt attached to his hind legs for a quick swap behind the scaffolding. We used Blue China silk for the waves and the beach when he was by the water. For setting changes we relied on lighting mostly. The only set carts we had that came in and out were the Apartment and Mr Dr's desk. We had a Baker's scaffold (from Lowes) that was handy to move around and be the bus or make the Mrs Dodds attack scene 'fly'.
I'm happy to talk you through the show and send pics It was our best selling show to date. These are just a few of the things I remember offhand.
