The show's design included both generic and intelligent lighting, which consisted of six Robe Spot 1200s, six Robe Spot 500s, eight Robe Spot 250s and four Robe Scan 250 XTs - as well as an assortment of miscellaneous generic lighting. All of the fixtures were controlled by an Avolites Pearl 2004 desk, and the smoke and haze effects were produced with a combination of Jem Stage Hazer and fog machines. A Le Maitre pyrotechnic system was also used for added effect when dignitaries were introduced to the audience on stage.
