We Will Rock You
 Organised well, was set up and dismantled in
time and effectively for each of the shows'
run.
 Didn’t need staff assistance, tutor said it was
the first year she didn’t have to help serve
drinks.
 Well managed, everyone knew what they were
doing and when it had to be done.
 Good morale throughout the shows and
offered exceptional customer service.
 Certain aspects that should have been Front
of House, weren't left to Front of House. E.g.
Ticket sales and numbers, which were
reserved and which weren't. All this was
known by Performing Arts staff and only fed
back to Front of House minutes before
audience arrived.
 A lot of jobs that could have been done
before weren’t. E.g Posters/programme
templates
 Issue roles for the crew earlier so that
arrangements can be made earlier. This way
both students and staff are aware of who has
what responsibilities and they can be taken
into action.
 In future, keep on file and attach to Moodle
all templates for posters and programmes so
that the newly appointed FOH manager can
just print these off.
 Well organised back stage, everyone knew
their roles and responsibilities and took them
into action on each of the three nights.
 Check sheets were completed y crew
members, giving them more responsibility
and ensuring the space was ready to be
performed in.
 Were no issues with moving set on and off,
once roles had been asigned.
 Members of the cast had no idea which
students were which members. E.g Front of
House team were asked to fix costume.
 Performers were late to the stage in some
sections of the show
 Props broke on one of the nights
 Once, roles are established, introduce
ourselves to the cast so they are aware of
who to go to with issues.
 One crew member be elected as runner, or
introduce a live feed of the show into the
dressing rooms so performers know which
part the sow is up to.
 Make sure props are used
appropriately, having someone supervise this.
Communication on this factor with the cast
needs to be improved.
 1 Operator per act was a good back up
 Good communication with DSM, strong cues
all on time.
 Head sets definitely improved the
communication between DSM, Lighting
operators and the stage crew.
 Design issues, trusses in the way
 Design and programming of the moving
heads is very difficult, not enough time.
 By having longer time in the space, in plotting
sessions and programming sessions, any
issues in this area can be identified and
overcome before an form of tech and dress
rehearsals take place.
