Musicarnival, Theatre building in Warrensville Heights, US
The circular stage of Musicarnival measured 30 feet in diameter and featured a fire-proof canvas roof with nine pie-shaped sections suspended from steel cables.
Opening in June 1954, this summer tent theater operated for 22 years until August 1975, hosting musicals, operas, operettas, and jazz concerts.
The venue staged 62 repertory musicals between 1954 and 1964, including the world stage premiere of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella in 1961.
The theater expanded its seating capacity from 1,500 to 2,563 seats in 1958, with 18 concentric rows positioned within 50 feet of the stage.
During an August 1962 performance, a tornado struck the theater, destroying nearby structures while the steel cable structure remained intact, protecting 2,000 attendees.
