HSL has been injecting some old and new magic lanterns and lighting effects to the 9-week run of Aladdin at Newcastle Theatre Royal for Qdos Productions.
This version of the show also includes 3D projection for key elements including the magic carpet and the genie, designed to throw the action right out into the audience and into people's faces.
HSL is supplying all the moving lights for the show, along with equipment for another 10 Qdos productions around the UK.
Two Robe ColorSpot 700E ATs are rigged at the front of the circle doing set and cloth washes and other specials, while 14 Robe ColorSpot 575E ATs are divided up with four at FOH on the pros position and the other 10 onstage. These are joined by six Robe ColorWash 575E AT fixtures on the pipe ends of LX bars 1, 2 and 3, also used for a myriad of effects.
HSL had special hieroglyphic 'texturing' gobos made up for the show. These are used extensively for illuminations around the auditorium in addition to LED PARs placed around the pros for blinder effects. The gobos are also used on the stage, for creating wacky effects in Twanky's laundry scenes and for a caricature of the lead actor's face, surrounded by hearts, for a comedy love song rendition by Aladdin for the Princess.
The company is also supplying four Martin Atomic strobes and 18 Pulsar ChromaZone PAR 36 LED units, plus six rotating 'helicopter' beam lights, three stationed each side of the pros, 24 strings of 10m festoon and egg festoon and ZR33 smoke machines.
The remainder of the production lighting has been pulled from the Theatre Royal's own extensive stock.

Small Footprint, Big Significance: Studio City Water Park |
|
Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must
diversify its tourism scene to attract new crowds. With the ambition of becoming the
leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
