The show was a tricky feat due to the high rig trim height and weight loading restrictions of the listed building. Fortunately, for the first time, Kramer had Vari*Lite luminaires in his rig. "In this situation, with the high trim height, I think the Vari-Lites were definitely the best fixtures for the job," he remarked. "We really needed the VL3000s for their brightness and throw, but also due to the restrictions on the roof, we could use fewer of them. I've found the Vari-Lites to be good all round fixtures."
Chameleon Touring Systems supplied the lighting, including 15 VL3000 spots, 15 VL2000 spots and 28 VL2500 wash luminaires. "The VL2000 spots do all of the grunt work whilst the VL3000 do all of the tricks," said Kramer.
