lifeisacabaret Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Does anyone have any details for the current UK Tour of 'The Rat Pack', especially in terms of sound? Which console are they using etc, which loudspeaker system? Any details greatly appreciated:-) JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Davies Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Not sure about the tour specifcally I used to work on it in London. Are you working on it then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeisacabaret Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 Fraid not...just a very curious technical theatre student!:-) Anything you can tell me about the sound installation in london? Console, Speaker system etc?:-) JG :huh: - Unnecessary quoting of entire preceeding post removed. Read this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Davies Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 The show in general is very simple (lighting, sound everything basically) Firstly the show is produced by Flying Music - run away whenever you hear these two words, just my personal opinion. The idea behind the show is that it is a recreation of a concert that the rat pack did in the states. There was a 20 something piece live band at the back of the stage on a steel deck band platform. Lighting was a large (VERY LARGE) number of parcans and a couple of movers (Martin Macs if I remember correctly) Give me a couple of days I will see what can find out about sound stuff. Any reason why The Rat Pack in particular? CHRIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeisacabaret Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 Well im at Uni in Bath, and I walked past the Theatre Royal this morning and saw what I think was a console flightcase being wheeled from the stagedoor to the FOH door (presumably to get the console to the house mixing position, which is not exactly easily accessible from the loading dock. I think I remember reading somewhere that it was an Outline Audio Line Array in London? Any other information? The console specifically....Also, any info on the tour would be great!

Seano Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Ouch. No need to be unpleasant. I wasn't trying to be unpleasant. (Trust me, when I am, you'll know.)I was offering sincere advice in good faith. If you want to know about the system in question, why not go talk to the person who runs it. If the noise boy(girl) in question is feeling friendly, maybe you'll get a tour, a chance to have a good look around the system and have your questions answered. If not - worst case - you'll gain a valuable learning experience (especially for someone looking for a career in stage management) in the black art of persuading uncooperative technicians to do what you want them to do.
