The tour features "a multi-screen design with integrated lighting in almost all scenic elements" says Lighting Designer Baz Halpin with silentHOUSE. "The LED screens move during the show and the lighting moves with them. The placement of soft goods, physical scenic structures along with staircases and risers give the stage an asymmetric feeling."
One hundred Sharpys are used "all over the set," he reports. "We have them hung from moving GT truss, LED screens, custom 'octo-truss' and dotted on the floor in and around the set."
During the show 40 Elidy LEDs are used on the downstage truss as audience blinders and also for dynamic effects.
"The Sharpys were selected for their small size, flexibility in placement and power, and they're working very well," Halpin says. "The Sharpys and the Elidy LEDs really deliver the powerful punch we were looking for."
