UK - A one-off concert was staged at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London, featuring Avraham Fried, a popular musical entertainer in the Orthodox Jewish community, and David Fisher, best known for his Broadway performance as Jean Valjean in the musical Les Misérables.

Jonathan (Speedy) Cole who was LD for the show, reports: "This Concert was a result of over a year of planning. The producer, Danny Kaizler from Israevents paid attention to every musical detail in the show, so I had to come up with a Lighting rig to allow a reaction of lighting to each and every musical point.

"We had rehearsals in the venue on the Friday, followed by a get in time of 05:00 on the day, having the ability to use the Vector PC, meant that I was able to programme each and every cue off site, using Wysiwyg. As we got in, whilst the crew off loaded the trucks, we ran 130m of network cable, plugged a vector in one end, and the E?ports in the other, and the show was ready.

"This was critical as we had tight schedule. The positioning went smoothly and I even got things looking 'clean' on the vectors. It was such a nice operation. Allowing me to use the remote PDA to go on stage and correct the house positions, even before the producer could finish asking for it... gave me a good and professional feeling."
