Held at the Old Billingsgate Market, the party was themed on Coney Island, attended by the cast, creative and production teams of the show, the show's producers, plus their guests and countless other celebrities to mark the debut of the sequel to the most successful stage show of all time. White Light's Live Events team, already familiar with the venue from having lit many other parties there, used lighting to transform it into a lavish, opulent space.
The company used a wide range of equipment from its extensive rental stock, including moving lights protected by weatherproof domes and Source Four low-energy spotlights. White Light's team provided a complete service, including design, set-up, operation during the evening and then load-out once the guests retired for the evening.
The new show has been created by a multiple-award-winning creative team, including director Jack O'Brien, designer Bob Crowley and lighting designer Paule Constable. White Light has supplied Constable's rig for Love Never Dies, as they have for many of her other recent shows including Evita, War Horse and the current touring production of Les Misérables.
Love Never Dies is playing now at London's Adelphi Theatre; productions in New York and Australia are scheduled to follow.
