Wybron has announced that its colour scrollers have been specified for Kiss Me Kate, which recently opened at Victoria Palace Theatre. Cole Porter’s famous masterpiece is a play within a play, featuring a theatrical company rehearsing and producing Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew. Transferring from Broadway, where it swept away the best part of the Tony Awards as well as several Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards, Kiss Me Kate has received glittering reviews. Lighting designer Peter Kaczorowski was also shortlisted for this year’s Tony Awards for Kiss Me Kate - but beat himself to win for his remarkable design for the Broadway hit The Producers.Lighting rental company White Light was chosen to supply a large rig based around ETC Source Fours, fitted with 80 Wybron Coloram IIs which created the varying atmospheres in the musical. General manager of White Light, Bryan Raven, said: "Wybron's colour scrollers have again proved the popular choice to change colour on a West End show."
The inventor of the original colour scrollers, Wybron sees its sought-after products currently in use on a number of shows in London’s West End, including the acclaimed The Graduate and The King and I, as well as the forthcoming Beauty and the Beast tour.
