Ol’ Blue Eyes on the road
Summit Steel specified and supplied production rigging and a Kinesys automation system to the Sinatra tour which has finished an extensive national leg, following its West End run.
Summit was contacted by tour co-ordinator, Nick Levitt, to provide the automation system and associated rigging - trusses and motors - needed to fly video screens and scenic pieces. The automation system and trussing was purchased by show producers 3A Entertainment due to the length of the tour. Summit also supplied 40 rental motors for the tour - a mix of one and half tonne Lodestars and quarter tonne Prostars - plus all rigging and control.
The trussing supplied consisted of 80 metres of ladder beam, 40 metres of Total Fabs Tracking Truss and 40 metres of JTE SuperTruss. Summit’s Chris Walker was project manager and rigging designer for the tour, which entailed fitting a complex show with a flown weight of 16 tonnes in its full format, into 15 diverse arena and theatre venues. All video equipment was supplied by XL Video, audio was a combination of Autograph and Britannia Row, and production manager Nic Rea oversaw the whole operation on the road.
