This led to some beautiful moments with the entire chorus line facing upstage, вЂњbacklit,вЂќ yet with their faces visible to the raked audience, while their backs, towards the audience, were dark. I discovered that when you time it just right, backlight acts as front light and vice versa. At first, I dreaded the mirrors, but then I began to play with them. I feel it is important for a designer to create their own work and not strictly duplicate the vision of others who have gone before.Дesigning A Chorus Line gives you a healthy appreciation for mirrors. At the same time, I intentionally strayed from select design elements that were inherently hers. In many ways we hewed as closely as possible to her indelible work.

Shows run from 6-16 January 2022.Tharon MusserвЂ™s design of the original production of A Chorus Line is legendary. Presale tickets go on sale at 9am, Friday 5 November 2021.
