On the 17th April I went to see the brand new musical 'Happy Days' at the Sunderland Empire. The entire show was done on a cyc at the back of the stage. I felt this was very effective way of opening the area up with the use of colour. As the show was always colourful the use of the cyc made the space look wider when the brighter colour were portrayed into it.
The use of a false floor was again I felt effective. The false floor was white, which again reflected the light very well adding to the 'musical' scenes as it lifted the scene as the light appeared to be all around them. When it needed to however like in the evening scenes, the blue wasn't reflected as much and made the scene more initmate which was needed in some scenes.
The colour choice was very musical theatre and associated with the happy days theme. Bright.
