Technology on Broadway

Wicked on broad way uses technology to defy gravity. This is my favorite special effect. There are no wires or anything showing, actually giving the illusion of floating. They made this possible by using a very long mechanical arm and on the end of the arm is a device that she can both stand on, and it grabs her around the waist as soon as she touches it

What do I even need to say. The iPad mocking used in blue man group are amazing. The huge screen in the back is choreographed along with this huge iPads. This is just visually amazing.

Spidey has now been given the ability to actually fly over the entire audience. The technology used in wiring is amazing. Nothing is held by hand, but programmed machines that know tension and direction of the wires and the stage.

The chandelier in the phantom of the opera has been crashing for more then 25 years. The technology behind the crash has gotten better and better throughout the years and has only become more realistic.

All I can say is how. What is used, how is it used, and where can i get one. This was just freakin beautiful. The transformation of the beast is my favorite broadway special effect, and i would love to know how to do it.
