Wicked Tour Productions asked Tomcat USA to make some custom items for the tour. The company designed and manufactured a 132' span of electric truss - based on a custom version of the EDDY Award winning TOMCAT Swing Wing Truss. The span was designed to come in three sections, each measuring 36" x 30" X 44'.
In addition, Tomcat was also asked to build four sets of lighting towers, as well as a cyc boom and cyc trusses. Each tower is 25" x 30", with heights ranging from 15' to 25' and the set of cyc booms and cyc trusses are 18" x 24" wide towers created to house strip lights - the towers vary in height from 22'-6" to 29'-3" tall.
All of these items were shipped to PRG Lighting in New Jersey, to be fitted with electrics before the tour's first stop in Toronto opening 8 March. After a seven-week engagement, the tour will be in Chicago from 29 April - 12 June - with more dates to be announced soon.
