Just about everyone who saw The Struts on the UK band’s recently concluded North American tour felt two things when they left one of its sold-out shows: exhilarated and exhausted. “Exhilarated,” because the irrepressible glam rockers kept pedal to the metal with their relentless stage presence and hard-driving music from the moment they kicked things off with “Dirty Sexy Money.” And “exhausted,” well… that was due to many of the same reasons, as the high-powered quartet continued to engage their audience with intense crowd interactions and singalongs throughout their 19-song set.Read More »Carlos Katsurayama Calls on CHAUVET Professional to Keep Pace with The Struts

The 1960s saw many wild, wonderful, and colorful transformations, but the modern moving light that would one day lead to the reimagination of stage design was not one of them. That creative breakthrough was still a decade away when Hair, the Tony-winning counterculture musical from James Rado and Gerome Ragni, made its Broadway debut in April, 1968. Still, could there be any better way to convey the ebullient, freewheeling spirit of the Sixties than with bold, dynamic moving fixtures?Read More »Julie Basse Makes History and Imagination Come Alive in ‘Hair’ with CHAUVET Professional
