A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN

Janis Joplin lives on, nightly on Broadway! Sound Designer Carl Casella brings the rock to Broadway's Lyceum Theatre 8 performances a week. Casella turned to Meyer Sound CQ-1 with 650-P subs and D&B Audiotechnik Q-1s with J Subs to reproduce the songs of Joplin and other Rock and soul luminaries. FOH mixer Adam Rigby can be found behind the Digico SD-8 console, with System processing via 3 Meyer Galileos, and Shure ULX wireless microphones. Every night, Joplin sound-alike Mary Bridget Davies gives another little piece of her heart, and you and Sound Associates are right there.

Leher fielded a system consisting of Figure 53's Qlab software, a D&B Audiotechnik front end, and Yamaha console and DSP. On the visual side, the story is told using Panasonic 21KU and DS20K projectors with a Watchout V5 backbone.
