Merrily We Roll Along is a 1981 American musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by George Furth. It is based on the 1934 play of the same name by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart.
Merrily premiered on Broadway on November 16, 1981, in a production directed by frequent Sondheim collaborator Hal Prince, with a cast almost exclusively of teenagers and young adults. The show was not the success the previous Sondheim–Prince collaborations had been: after a chaotic series of preview performances, it opened to widely negative reviews, and closed after 16 performances and 52 previews.

Sound

One of the main challenges of this show was the pit being at half-height. This of course meant less control in the front of house mix, and an overall louder sound in the auditorium before amplification. This also meant carefully runnning our cables up onto the pit lift, including cue and comms cables as well as cat5 for personal monitoring. It was important that this was made safe for the muscicians by making cable runs as clean as possible.

This also meant rigging the MD Camera with a hex-clamp and camera rigging to the underside of the stage to ensure a good view of the MD.

Video

This show used two projectors, one in the FOH truss position and the other on stage on LX 1. This was due to the two different projection surfaces, one being the gauze and the other a flown balcony piece. Two projectors were used to adhere to the focal lengths.

Notes: Kramer HDMI to CAT5 extenders won't draw enough power when an optical HDMI is used on the other end of it.

Additionally, an old CRT monitor was to be used on stage, with a live camera feed going to it through the disguise server. However, due to the digital-to-analogue converter breaking, the monitor was sadly cut.

Here you can see the system diagram of the set-up. File:MWRA - Systems Diagram V002.pdf
