I left Buffalo on December 9 and arrived in Chicago (via New York City, Denver, Riverton, WY) on December 24. If that seems a little unbelievable even for a tour route your are correct. See, a few weeks before we had been informed that we would be going on an …

Taking a show this size across an international border can be a lot of hard work. Most of the time, however, it’s not as bad as it seems it’s going to be. First off some numbers: 6 – 53′ Trailers, packed full, to move the show from city to city. …

The next four weeks of the tour were spent bouncing around Florida. I’m sure most of you who have toured have always wondered just how much alcohol they feed the monkey before they start having him throw darts at a map to determine the tour route. While we certainly didn’t …

We were able to load out of New Orleans in 6.5 hours. I was fairly impressed with that time for our first go at it. Unfortunately, due to some questionable scheduling, that did mean we would be late getting to St. Louis. Luckily there was a little bit of extra …

After two weeks of loading in and getting everything ready, it is finally time to get down to the business we came here to do. Much has been written about the struggles of The Addams Family Musical in getting to this point. This isn’t the place to get into all …

Addams Family Tour: New Orleans Part 1 – Production Load-in

I arrived in New Orleans the week of August 22, 2011. It took the entire first week, working 8 hour days, to put in the sound system. The show-to-show load-in takes about 12 hours now. There are several reasons why the production load-in takes so much time. First, even though …

As requested, I’ll describe the duties of each of the members of the team. While these descriptions will be close for most Broadway level musicals, some of the duties described may float between members depending on the show. Sound Designer The designer is responsible for merging the technical and creative …

The process of putting a Broadway show on the road begins long before we ever get to the shop. However, outside of a few phone calls and some negotiating with general management, the shop prep is where a show starts for me. The designers submit a gear list for bid …

Four times in the last week, in otherwise unrelated conversations, the topic of “content” has come up. Whether it be the artistic merits of a show, the worthiness of a news article, or the value of a soon-to-be-public social networking site’s stock, “content” was a common thread in these discussions. …
