White Light Beautiful and Damned
Continuing what will be a busy season for new musicals in London is Beautiful andDamned, a glittering show set in the 1920s and telling the tragic story of Zelda Sayre and F. Scott Fitzgerald. To supply his lighting rig for the show, lighting designer Nick Richings turned, as he has done on many other shows, to White Light and The Moving Light Company.
The show's design includes both conventional and automated lighting. The automated rig from The Moving Light Company includes ten Martin Mac500s, ten Martin Mac2000 Profile and eight Vari*Lite VL2000 Wash units. The conventional rig features over 100 ETC Source Four profile spots with 10, 19, 25, 36 and 50 degree lenses, the ten degree units using 750W lamps; 40 Par 64s, 12 Selecon Pacific 90°, 20 Strand Prelude Fresnels, ten Thomas 4-cell battens and eight Thomas two-circuit MR16 battens. Control
is from a Whole Hog 2 console with two 48-way Avo Art2000 dimmer racks complementing the Lyric Theatre's own dimmer installation. Rigging includes White Light's fully-rated Loler lighting ladders.
The rig also includes 38 Rainbow 8" Pro and six Rainbow 6" Pro colour scrollers, two Robert Juliat Korrigan 1.2kW followspots and two Look Solutions Viper smoke machines. White Light Sales is the exclusive UK distributor for all of these products.
Working with Nick Richings on the show were Jim Beagley, associate lighting director and programmer, as well as production electrician Keith Johnson. The show is production managed by Crosbie Marlow and Associates.
