This production featured a cast of 14, an onstage 8 piece band, and a shiny new red pickup truck. The production had a few challenges including an onstage band, actors that sing up to the very edge of the thrust stage, and did I mention the back wall was constructed from corrugated metal?
For the production I used a Yamaha PM1D as the FOH mixer, two Behringer X32s for the band IEMs and an A2 monitor station, and a Yamaha LS9 connected to a soundgrid network for reverb. The speakers system included a LR+M system that at times was treated as a LCR system to achieve separation of voices during some of the larger chorus numbers as well as achieve a wide "rock-n-roll" sound. The primary center vocal system consisted of 6 d&b T10s on center, 2 d&b Q10s as Low LR vocal fill, and 4 A-Lines as front fill. The LR system consists of 16 Clair Cohesion 8s on the far edges of the FOH truss. Additionally, two d&b Q7s act as pit image speakers suspended above the band. Finally, the stage monitoring system consists of 2 Meyer UPJ-1Ps, and 4 Meyer UPM-1Ps. Some examples of paperwork can be found below:
