I loved the projections in Pippin at the Menier.

Generally I am not a fan of projections. I don't think the technology is there yet really. It mostly is a lazy way to create different scenes or ambiance. The Woman in White projections at the Palace Theatre ( mentioned above) were dreadful!! Who will ever forget the cast "walking" up the animated stairs. The cast were dwarfed by performing in front of what appeared to be giant IMAX screen. The stage lights "bleaching out" the projected light.Just dreadful. When I read the title of the thread I immediately thought of the Woman in White at the Palace and those appalling stairs, where the cast skipped upstairs and how the audience - as a whole - tittered. Tittered!!!! But then the train in the same show was - for me, where I sat - incredible. I think projections on stage it's place, but has to be done in a way that avoids tittering. The HP projection - we "wowed" at that, one of the stand-out pieces of the show(s). |
