The production team transformed the Shrine Auditorium entrance and the adjoining Exposition Center with a stage and decor meant as a contemporary interpretation of the Streamline Moderne style of the 1930s. Architectural details like paneled molding were executed in a color scheme of black, white, and silver and enhanced by colored lighting appropriate to each segment of the show.
