Wicked Defies Gravity with Tomcat
Earlier this year Tomcat USA completed work on equipment for the second national tour of Wicked which begins this month in Ft. Myers, Florida. This equipment included three overhead electric trusses, six Tomcat Dance Towers for stage left and right as well as a Cyc Tower for stage left and right.
Two of the overhead electric trusses are customized versions of Tomcat's award winning Swing Wing Truss. They were modified to match the specific needs of the show. The third electric is a custom fabricated length of medium duty spigoted truss with a center lamp bar.
Along with the spans of Swing Wing Truss, Tomcat custom designed and fabricated the Dance Towers to meet the needs of the production. All equipment was powder coated black prior to shipping.
"With the help of Tomcat custom fabrication, the designers of Wicked can deliver the Broadway visual experience to audiences throughout North America," said Kenneth Posner, LD for the show.
This tour of Wicked will continue with stops in Birmingham, Alabama, Jacksonville, Florida, Norfolk, Virginia, Indianapolis, Indiana and Memphis, Tennessee. Additional cities will be announced in the future.
Tomcat is proud to continue its tradition of providing equipment for some of the hottest Broadway tours.
