Lit by Howard Harrison, the moving light rig consists of 65 Vari*Lite fixtures made up of VL2000 spots, VL2000 washes, VL3000Qs and VL5Bs. In addition to this, nearly 40 of ETC's new Revolution moving heads have been specified alongside two Martin MAC 2000 Performance units where remote shuttering is required. The conventional rig consists largely of ETC Source Four profiles in varying beam angles. Also specified are Martin Atomic 3000W strobes, 50 LDDE Spectra connect colour mixing fluorescent tube systems, DHA Digital Light Curtains and over 130 Rainbow Pro colour scrollers - all controlled via a Strand 520 desk with 510 tracking backup. Stage Electrics' own DMX splitters have been utilized to distribute the data along with Avolites new DMX over Ethernet wireless nodes.
Chris Patton, business development manager for Stage Electrics, who has worked closely with the project said: "This is a fantastic production to be involved in, Mary Poppins is a name that everyone has grown up with, we are all looking forward to seeing the finished show."
