The tour marks 50 years after the show made its London debut and is a vibrant new production of the original classic, directed and choreographed by Joey McKneely.
Stage Electrics is supplying an ETC EOS console, complete with tracking back-up. An ETC ION console has also been employed to make the moving light focus easier. Moving lights have been specified in the form of 16 Martin Professional MAC 700 Profile Units, 16 MAC 2000 Wash Units, two MAC 2000 Performance units, 20 Stagebars and 50 scrollers.
The video set-up includes two Catalyst V4 Pro Media Servers which were custom built for the show. Two Sanyo LCD XF46 Projectors are at the front end.
The original lighting designer for the production was Peter Halbsgut with the UK and European tour being lit by designer and programmer Adam Sutton. Production manager is Simon Gooding.
