Last week I opened the U.S. Premiere of Strictly Ballroom at Hale Center Theater in Salt Lake UT! Previouslyt eh production Played in Austria, and then on the West End in London. There it was Produced by the same company, Global Creatures, that produced Moulin Rouge and King Kong on broadway. Here in the U.S. the Hale Center Theater caught wind of such a great production and decided they would like to produce the premiere. Working directly with Baz and the foundation we put on a spectacle!
What a great venue to work at! The production team was astounding, very collaborative, and visionary! You can find out what Broadway World thought of the show below, but as far as what they thought of the lighting, well here it is:
“The incredible lighting design by Jaron Hermansen elevates the experience to an even higher level. The use of intensely saturated colors along with artistic timing, a strong sense of story, and pure entertainment value is Broadway caliber.”
