The flown set pieces for this show consisted of a large canopy that would fly in and land over the top of a 5m tower and 4 metal framed shards, 2 of which needed to be able to track across the stage and the other 2 which only needed to be able to fly in and out.
Due to the position of the canopy, counterweight bars 6 to 12 needed to stay gridded to ensure there was enough overhead space for the canopy and its dressing to fly fully out of view. For LX it was decided that the bulk of their overhead requirements in this area would be rigged on two 7m truss spans, SL of the canopy, these would be rigged on the Kinesys Liftket Hoists. SR of the canopy there would also be two small drop bars, one on CW 9 and the other on 12. To install the two centre stage Kinesys hoists we needed to remove grid panels as the points were on bridles.
On CW 11 there was a kabuki drop effect for Cinderella’s dress, this was rigged on a small drop bar that could be raised and lowered from prompt side, this meant that the canopy frame wouldn’t have to be lowered in to the stage every time we needed to reset the kabuki drop. The kabuki drop was also controlled from prompt side.
There was enough height for the canopy to have around 4m of dressing however when props dressed the canopy in the venue only around 2m was added.

Equipment List
Band Layout
Due to the restrictions on distance due to the ongoing pandemic we had to prove that the band would all fit into the pit safely. To do this our PSE created a plan of the pit and then placed each performer in their individual bubble showing clear 2 meter spacing between all 7 members of the band.
Cable Runs
Full Venue cable run
Control room to FOH cable run
Sound World Postion
Due to limited capacity on stage Sound World for ITW 2021 could not be on stage. This meant that it was built in the control room. This actually turned out to be a largely convenient place for it. As we were using the Dante network it made it would be easy to patch throughout the venue as the patch points were located next to the Racks. it also meant the PSE and SND No.1 Could stay in contact throughout the show.
