THE LATEST
JAGGED LITTLE PILL
This rock musical inspired by Alanis Morissette's 1995
Grammy Award winning album is blowing the doors off the Broadhurst Theatre.
Sound Designer Jonathan Deans and AD Brian Sheih specified a forty channel
Shure Axient Wireless Microphone System and Digico SD7T for A1 Mike Tracy to
blast home the melodies through Meyer Galaxy processors and a Meyer Lina rig.
Video:
The Jets and the Sharks aggression; the love story of Maria and Tony; there
is no missing the action as this new production features the work of noted
concert media designer Luke Halls. A 70' wide, 30' high, Roe Carbon LED screen
driven by a Disguise VX4 server with Ross switching shows every detail from
dozens of Black Magic 4K and 6K cameras following the performers on and off
stage. Sound Associates' System Management team is led by Associate Designer
Brad Peterson, Production Video Chris Kurtz, and Video Switcher Adan Bishop.
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
One month into the run and "every seat sold for every
performance" at the Shubert Theatre. A testament to star power and the
resilience of a masterpiece reconstructed. "All Rise" when A1 David Stollings turns
on the Yamaha PM7D console powering the d&b Y7 loudspeakers in the sound
system designed by Scott Lehrer with assistant Charles Coes. Atticus Finch is loud
and clear with Sennheiser SK5212/3732 microphones in the mix.
GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
Bob Dylan's songbook comes to life at the
Belasco Theatre. Amid the Depression, Duluth, Minnesota is the backdrop for this
passionate musical of dreams and the promise of new beginnings. With the
capable assistance of AD Charles Coes, Sound Designer Simon Baker using a Digico
SD10T with Sennheiser SK5212/3732 wireless microphones under the skilled
mixing of A1 Scott Sanders, re-captures his design from London's Old Vic and
Public Theatre productions
COMPANY
Bobby's birthday party has changed into Bobbie's birthday party. In
this production a single woman is reminded by her friends that her biological
clock is ticking without a life-partner commitment. The musical now celebrates
modern day gender-flipping. Sound Designer Ian Dickinson with AD Maggie Burke
bring the Stephen Sondheim score to life mixing the Shure Axient wireless
microphones and d&b V10P arrays through a Digico SD7T under the capable
hands of A1 Ty Lackey.
SIX
Girl Power! Six wives of Henry VIII reclaim their heritage in this musical
celebration at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. From the Edinburg Festival, Sound
Designer Paul Gatehouse follows the "wives" on their journey to reclaim their
identities with Sennheiser SKM 6000 wireless microphones expertly mixed by
Assistant Sound Designer/A1 Josh Millican, on a Digico SD7T console through d&b
AL90 arrays.
TINA: THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL
The "Queen of Rock and Roll" has transported
her successful West End production starring Adrienne Warren to the "Great
White Way". Tony Award winning Sound Designer Nevin Steinberg specified a
Digico SD7-T console for A1 Julie Randolph to mix the Sennheiser 6000 series
wireless microphones. Associate Sound Designer Jason Crystal matched the d&b
Y8 speakers with the Waves Soundgrid Extreme processors.
AIN'T TOO PROUD
The life and times of the Temptations. Sound Designer Steve Canyon Kennedy will be putting his magic
touch on another musical after the tremendous success with his sound design for the Four Seasons hit
Jersey Boys. Associate Designer Walter Trabach and A1 Julie Sloan make the memorable harmonies
come alive through a Digico SD7T Console and Meyer Leopard and KV2 sr215 loudspeakers. A2 John
Cooper is busy managing the Sennheiser 6000/5212 wireless microphones bringing fourteen number
one hits to a cheering Imperial Theatre audience.
COME FROM AWAY
In the immediate wake of the 09/11/01 terrorist attacks, incoming aircraft were diverted from the NYC
area to other airports, many outside the USA. Those diverted to St. Johns, Newfoundland found their
reception by the local residents in the small, isolated town of Gander to be remarkably kind and
sensitive inviting the "stranded" passengers into their homes for a "sleep-over." For this heart-warming
musical, Sound Designer Gareth Owen chose a new Avid S6L-32 audio console for A1 Chris Leussmann
to mix the d&b loudspeaker combination in Ford's Theatre, DC and the Royal Alex, Toronto, scheduled
before the Broadway Premier.
