Design Process

In this new age classic, it’s always a fun challenge to keep the vocals above the band. Its particularly difficult in this show due to the driving band in songs like “Crazier than You”. With a band of 11 In a very shallow orchestra pit and a student double cast of 31 placed in a theatre that was made in the 70s, it is a challenge to have clarity and dynamics.
