This show was a regional premier performed as part of the RMRT 2018 Summer Season in rep with Annie and The Full Monty. Sound effects were programmed into QLab and were comprised of light ambiance, spot cues, and a pre-recorded voice overs as part of the show’s narrations. The show incoorporatd 18 wireless microphones, 14 band channels, 6 QLab channels, and 8 seperate speaker feeds mixed on a Yamaha LS9-32. Music was supplied via a live, 6-piece band located in the pit. Each member of the band had the option of either a heaphone or speaker monitor with direct control over one of their own feeds and a custom mix from the console. They all ultimately ended up using the heaphone montor to help reduce pit volume to allow for better control in the house. Musically we went for a chamber orchestra feel. Sound effects were ment to be slightly exaggerated and sometimes even cartoonish as comedic commentary. Below are audio clips captured from the console's stereo mix down during one of the performances.
