REVIEWS

"The Hollywood sound stage setting is cleverly brought to life by a talented production team, including starstruck lighting by Ben Hughes, cinema-worthy sound by Geoff McGahan, dreamy video by designer Craig Wilkinson, associate Jake Lodder, and the optikal bloc production team (with glorious rain achieved for the title song!)"
STAGE WHISPERS


"Craig Wilkinson’s video design was at its absolute best... perfectly complementing the minimal set and transporting the audience through the iconic Hollywood locations.
Most pivotally, these designs brought a new meaning to the phrase theatre magic with a rainy cityscape that synched with Lockwood’s whimsical dancing in the rain."
THEATRE HAUS

"delightful period ‘silent film’ and ‘talking picture’ extracts were ingeniously created by video production company, optikal bloc. Utilising key cast members, these were great fun but also seemingly all too accurate and real. Video Designer, Craig Wilkinson used the screen for a range of excellent imagery, including the famous rain scene, complete with sound effects by Geoff McGahan. "
ARTSHUB

"Thanks to Brisbane’s award-winning optikal bloc and Craig Wilkinson’s video design, we are even given rain-soaked road puddle splashes in its whimsical titular pre-interval number."
