What types of mics and transmitters were you using for the<br />
actors?<br />
Sennheiser SK5212 transmitters with Sennheiser EM3532<br />
receivers. I am using a combination of DPA 4061 and Sennheiser<br />
MKE-1 microphones.<br />
How many of the cast members are double miked?<br />
Five of the principles are double miked. My biggest concerns<br />
were for the actors who had the most dancing and then<br />
had to sing, like Anita in “America” and Riff in “Cool.” The dancing<br />
is incredibly demanding and sweat outs were an issue.<br />
Did you use any foot mics at all? Were all the finger snaps<br />
in “Cool” captured through the actor's mics?<br />
The snaps are mostly captured through the actors' mics,<br />
except at the top of the show where Riff is wearing a wireless<br />
on his waist to get his solo snaps during the beginning of “The<br />
Prologue.”<br />
The complex dances and number of swing dancers who rotate through the show keep FOH mixer Lucas Indelicato on his toes.<br />
