THE LATEST

BABY IT'S YOU

The Shirelles are alive and well at the Broadhurst Theatre in the new smash "Baby It's You". Florence Greenberg's discovery never sounded better under the superb direction of Sound Designer Carl Cassella. The 'Golden Oldies' songs are managed deftly by A1 Ty Lackey on a Digico D5 Live with a theatre full of Meyer Melodie and M2D Curvilinear Arrays with 18 Sennheiser Wireless microphones under 112 wigs.

JERUSALEM

2008 Tony Award winner Mark Rylance, "Boeing, Boeing", is leading the Broadway cast in this London import. Sound designer for Autograph Ian Dickenson has re-created Stephen Warbeck's Royal Court composition in the Music Box Theatre. A1 Beth Berkley adroitly manages the live and playback audio on a Digico SD8 with a theatre surround sound system consisting of Meyer and d&b loudspeakers.

Congratulations Tony Award Winners

Congratulations to: Chris Shutt: Best Sound Design for a Play "War Horse", and Brian Ronan: Best Sound Design for a Musical "The Book of Morman" and all the Tony Award Winners.

WAR HORSE

This spectacular National Theatre production is headed for the Vivian Beaumont Theatre under the auspices of Lincoln Center Theatre. Sound Associates was selected to provide the audio and video systems for designers Chris Shutt (sound) and Fifty Nine Productions (video). The sound system consists of an all d&b Audiotechnick system featuring arrays and point source boxes from the Q, T, and E series. Production Sound Engineer Mark Salzberg commands a new Digico SD7 console to mix the Sennheiser RF and QLab audio playback. Video playback is handled by DMX-slaved Catalyst servers driving an array of Panasonic DLP projectors.

PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT

From the land down under comes the musical comedy with a heart. PRISCELLA tells the tale of three friends and a road trip to the middle of nowhere. This critically acclaimed production is moving from the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto to the Palace Theatre on Broadway. Sound Designers Jonathan Deans and Peter Fitzgerald ordered a stop at Sound Associates' Yonkers production facility for a Palace re-fit of the Meyer Mica and M'elody curvilinear line arrays. Kudos to A1 Steve Henshaw for an outstanding job in Toronto mixing on the new Midas XL8.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN

Sound Designer Steve Canyon Kennedy will add another mega-musical to his already storied career. With Associate Designer Andrew Keister this first class sound system will debut at the Neil Simon Theatre in March 2011. Steve and Andrew have chosen EAW KF-695's and Meyer M'elodies for the main arrays and veteran A1 Dan Tramon will add his musical creativity to the mix of a 26 piece orchestra and forty-eight Sennheiser SK 5212 body pack transmitters on a new Digico SD7 Console.
