1. Musical performance Hard to know ‘cos we couldn’t hear each other that well
Repertoire Rehearsed more than we needed.
Should have put Who Are You in dance set
Songs with choreo worked really well – those without
like Popcorn didn’t
John said we should to a disco show
Emma said we should do a Jamiriquai song – love
philosophy
New Phill song?
Choreo Lots of on & off stage choreo worked
Learnt Nutbush for the first time.
Stunts Didn’t get to do Gypsy hoola/viola stunt ‘cos we axed it.
Maybe we should have left it in – it’s speccy choreo
Sound
FOH
On-stage
In-ears
When FOH was turned down fold back should have been
turned down.
Be great if Rhys could come and check on-stage sound
during sound check
Lights Liz’s stilts weren’t lit (despite them having notes about
it in the lighting cues). It was also in the first set so cues
were easy to follow (in the set that changed cues would
have been hard to follow ‘cos so many songs were
removed)
Lots of smoke
Banter Liz did a great job getting Bread couple on the dance
floor
MC announced us as ‘DeepBlue Spectaular’ because
that’s what was on the client’s quote! Need to check
MC’s intro more thoroughly
Dressing room
Food
Too far from Ballroom
Not enough water
Needed a platter for 3pm arrival
John kept things positive
Disco dancers kept us entertained!
Stage management Sophia was great! Perceptive, showed initiative,
communicative, expert traveller.
The client should have hired a stage/event manager to
liaise and cue. Didn’t announce dance number so it
didn’t work. Had to do Happy with accouncement. And
that worked
Communication Client didn’t communicate well.
Didn’t even include DeepBlue’s sets on the MC’s run-
sheets.
Transport John was very helpful with lugging in and out of taxis
Accom No breakfast
Would have preferred to stay in town
Bump out Everyone helped
Emma was great and ordered taxis for us.
2. Other Got 2 potential gigs by being in the crowd & on the
dance floor after the show. Barrier btwn audience &
performers was broken. Liz, Greta and others talked to
peeps who want DB at. Need new business cards
