This classic show was a lot of fun to light. I tried to really keep the essence of Tharon Musser’s original plot while still making the show my own with the use of bold color. I was able to rent some led profiles to really bolster the side light looks. If I had it to do over I would try and rent more led profiles to use for the Mondrian looks so that those colors pop more. For the finale we used a beaded curtain that I lit with some moving lights doing a sky tracker look in lieu of the art deco wall, and we added a downstage portal with chasing golf ball lights.
God I hope I get it
Dance auditions from the top of the show
The LIne
Who am I anyway? Am I my resume?
I can do that?
Everything is beautiful at the ballet
Morales singing nothing and a light to act like stained glass for the church verse
Gimme the ball, gimme the ball, gimme the ball, yeah.
The music and the mirror
During the final learning of One
Cassie and Zack talking downstage of the rehearsal upstage
What I did for love
During the finale
