I used to work in a small theatre....ran all of the light cues manually , and called spot cues. People think show production just happens
I don´t get this...I thought the lights f.e. is done by the light-people...r u telling each technic person what to do???
She's "Calling" the show. She will be in the wings in her own special area with the script on it with ALL the technical stage managers directions written down..lights/ sound and effects. Her job is to keep her eyes on the script and follow the script/action on stage (also prompt in the rare occurrence and actor forget a line) She also has to read a few lines ahead of the actor and when she spots a cue she talks into her headset (sometimes called CANs) to the lighting and sound desk that will be facing the stage and tell them to standby with their cue (you hear her say LX331, which is standby for lighting cue 331) the when it hits the moment the lights need to come on she says "Go" which tells the lighting people to press the programmed cue button on the lighting desk. Then she moves into the next one. Source: I have done this job in the theatre many times. It's weirdly satisfying and calming as nothing else goes on in your head but reading and calling.
@@Shadowknightneo wow...that s amazing!!! Thank you!!!
@@munci6474It's even more amazing when you realise the work and craft that goes into this. She has to stay ahead of the beat and account for the lighting people's reaction time when she says go. So she will actually call the "Go" for the lighting half a beat ahead so the switch lands on the beat. She will also be writing notes for any cues that were missed or in the wrong time to feedback at the next rehearsal to make it smoother. She could also potentially be calling for any of the other sundry theatrics such as Sound, Pyros, Flyrailing, Set Switches, Clearence etc. It's an amazingly technical job that a lot of people don't realise can make or break a show. (It's also one job the actors don't want to annoy or get on the wrong side of as you might find your precious spotlight was "Missed" during your monologue)
So LX means Light what other cues did you use?
Loved it!
Ich weiß noch sweaty Eddy hat komplett alles rasiert
The show was amazing! I enjoyed every minute! Thank you for a wonderful evening ❤
👏 👏👏👏👏

بخیر سلام تقلب 😂🎉😢😮😅😊❤
زوين بزاف ❤❤❤❤❤
I loved this play. It is impressive to see what a handful of props, creative lighting, atmospheric music and excellent acting can do. I wish they would record the plays and make them available for sale after the last performance. I'm sure that would be a great idea in the digital age. I myself would have purchased what I had seen and a few of the old plays. I suppose it's not that easy to make a recording in a quality worth seeing. But anything is better than losing the past artistic achievements forever.
I Missing reciving coms from FOH on Musicals it's such fun .. After a few nights what people don't see is the jokes and laughs while opping LX
Loved it, really recommend seeing it!
I watched a few videos like this, wondering what's the % split between time looking at the stage vs time looking in the book, and this one answers it. Neat.
As I start putting together my “stage book” for my next production… I came across this reminder of how the Stage Mgr ends up running the show… right from the “book” with a few visual queues IF something goes amiss… The unheralded job of the Theatre that does exist in the “movies” 😁
Wonderful piece of art! Thx for the message, Mr Byrne!

Stephen sondheim's Sweeney Todd musical trailer
Hallo, ich habe das Theaterstück am Mittwoch mit meinem Englischkurs angesehen! Wie heißt das Lied, welches am Ende beim Applaus gespielt wurde? Lg Felix
Der Song heisst "Mr. Blue Sky by ELO
Well Done!
Ein phantastisches Theaterstück. Großartige Schauspieler, ein intensives Erlebnis. Danke an alles, die solche dramatischen Sternstunden in Frankfurt möglich machen.
Who is the stage manager? I use this clip as an example in my classes and would appreciate being able to reach out.
Awesome show
I saw the New York City production in 2018, and it was moving and brilliant. I had no idea at the time that it had anything to do with Harari's book Sapiens, which I have subsequently read, but when the themes are so big, they are bound to deal in some ways with the same thing. You deserve more views!!
Amazing job. Well done to all involved. x
Super good performance. Well done!!
I wonder whether Lord Alfred Douglas has a living descendant ?
Douglas's and Olive Custance's only child Raymond (1903 - 1964) was diagnosed at the age of 24 with schizoaffective disorder in 1927 and entered St Andrew's Hospital, a mental institution. Though decertified and discharged after five years, he suffered another breakdown and returned to the hospital. In February 1944, when his mother died of a cerebral haemorrhage at the age of 70, Raymond was able to attend her funeral and in June he was again decertified. His conduct rapidly deteriorated and he returned to St Andrew's in November, where he stayed until his death on 10 October 1964.
@@traxelable Alfred Douglas quando nacque suo figlio Raymond lo chiamava il suo capolavoro e penso che abbia sofferto quando Raymond si è ammalato e abbia trovato consolazione nella fede cattolica a cui si era convertito pochi anni dopo la dipartita di Oscar Wilde
my man had Caps Lock on at the end. *"YOU IN A MERRY MOOD TODAY, MR TODD?!"* Took me off guard.
This song deserves all the Caps Lock emphasis.. hope, your answer was something in the order of YES
Ok, it is inevitable to write that this video looks like an avatar, Oscar Wilde (Merlin Holland, his only grandson) talking to Lord Douglas/Bosie or to Dorian Gray (the beautiful actor, who is obviously gay). The meeting fulfills Wilde's wishes, dating back to ancient philosophy: an older intelectual teaching (and learning with) the flower of youth.
Yes Heather, applause applause!! Their 40th is also my 40th with them....may we stay together another 40 :-)
Congratulations! Late but heartfelt.. :)
This is fire! Where’s the whole musical?
Sadly, only in our memories.. "it's over when it's over", but let's hope we will be able to get back to live performances soon!! In the meantime, you might want to check out Stephen John Davis' account: kzread.info/dron/6wR_5Zne99e3ZXtOC2P1hg.html ;)
I am a great admirer of Oscar Wilde . I am ever so glad to come across with this video. It's really remarkable that we have the chance of seeing and listening to his grandson who , by the way , quite looks like him. The eyes specially. Thank you.
We also very much cherish our friendship with Merlin Holland! So glad, you enjoyed listening to him
@@theenglishtheatrefrankfurt4280 Thank you so much for your message. Yes, I did enjoy your video greatly. You do an excellent job. Take care and stay safe😷😴😷

@ I don 't understand what you mean by " avatar". It's a real person talking to Oscar Wilde's only grandson : Merlin Holland.
How can I join theatre. Can you provide information.
I want to join theatre in Frankfurt. How should I get information. ?
💛
Fabulous play. Looks to have been a great production!
is there any chance that i can buy this show?
I am afraid not - there is no full recording. It is a fabulous play though, also as a read? If that might be an alternative? xx
The English Theatre Frankfurt Awh thank you for getting back! And yes I am listening to the audio book as we speak! I’m doing a monologue from this show for an audition to get into a school! I was hoping you would have it but it’s okay, my imagination is doing good at the moment! Thank you very much though xx
I am commenting to let you know what a terrific experience my daughter enjoyed reading through your web page. She noticed a wide variety of pieces, with the inclusion of what it is like to have an awesome helping style to have the rest without hassle grasp some grueling matters.
Existing without the answers to the difficulties you’ve sorted out through this guide is a critical case, as well as the kind which could have badly affected my entire career if I had not discovered your website.
From such a modest beginning (in Sachsenhausen, I was there) the theatre has blossomed into a superlative theatre: excellent actors, brilliant sets and creative ideas. Applause, applause.
Thank you so much!
Great video! Can’t wait to see the play!
Saw your show yesterday in Munich and you were awesome! Especially Mrs. Lovett was outstanding! <3
That's great to hear, thank you so much!!
Bitte 🙏🏼 bringt „Ghost“ wieder nach Frankfurt! Da kann die Stage Produktion nicht mithalten, diese Inszenierung war um Längen besser! 👍🏼 Schade das es davon keine Videoaufnahme gibt, ich würde sie mir sofort besorgen! 😘
Großes Lob an die Schauspieler, wurde lange nicht mehr so gut unterhalten. War gestern zum ersten Mal da und werde defenitiv wiederkommen.
Ganz lieben Dank! Ab Donnerstag schwingt SWEENEY TODD nur für kurze Zeit in München sein Rasiermesser, hier am ETF dreht es sich in THE EFFECT derweil um chemisch verursachte Liebe..
Saw this play on Wednesday 29.01.2020. ALL of the performers were so amazing and the voices gave me chills almost through the whole show. I never clapped so long and hard in my entire life after a performance. It was such a privilege to be able to experience this. Sounds cheesy, but it truly enriched my life with memories i will keep close to my heart.
Yes! Saw it last night. I almost got very emotional because it's been my dream to see a musical since I was fourteen. Never imagined I would get to see my all-time favorite: Sweeney Todd. The cast didn't disappoint. Was a bit frustrated that they didn't get a standing-o. I stood along with a few other people, but everyone should've been on their feet, to be honest. The cast did such an amazing job!
kvdoglover when i was there, i was in the second row...from what i was able to see when i turned around, the whole theater was standing - they cannot win us all, i guess, but maybe this can give you a bit of closure. God, i will never forget this performance.
@@RoninRonnie Likewise. That's definitely a memory that will remain in my mind for the rest of my life. And thanks for sharing, it does make me feel better. I'm happy I stood. If not, that would haunt me because it was an amazing performance. Would see it again if I had the money for it!
Saw this play last Saturday. Absolutely incredible performance
Brilliant show and all around wonderful cast! ♥
Thank you so much!!
"Basil Hallward é como eu penso que sou. Lord Henry é o que o mundo acha de mim. E Dorian Gray é o que eu gostaria de ser." - Oscar Wilde
Are you ever releasing a recorded version of Sweeney Todd? God knows how much I'd pay to get my hands on one of those, the whole cast is amazing!
Thanks, they'll love to hear that! Sadly, I'm afraid not... since performing rights do not at the same time include recording rights.. Simply have to come again and enjoy live :)
His name is Benjamin Barker ….. it's Barker …..
We do know that ;) But thanks for listening closely!
@@theenglishtheatrefrankfurt4280 xD That's good. I look forward to seeing the musical in January! It's really cool that you're doing it.
@@johnp.wintergreen5712 It's been on our wish list for quite a while.. ;) Hope, you enjoy!
We saw the show last week in Frankfurt...excellent!
I finally got around to watch the show this weekend. 😍 It was horrifying in the best way possible. I loved it a lot. 🥰 Going to watch it in Munich as well.
