First off, My Drama Nerd persona was outed weeks ago by “Glee”, so I feel comfortable in replying to this post with some authority:dude, your sound guy sucked. Not only did a grip almost kill the lead singer of an 80’s hair band, not one mike was leveled correctly, and in some cases was nonexistent. Obviously Poison was lip syncing, but the sound was so off it made it even more apparent. Your first indication of a problem is when your big lead off, Sir Elton John himself,  sings for a couple of bars with no sound. Then you can’t hear the Sharks/Jets in the competing mob scene.

I did sound for several productions, as well run the board for all the visiting shows that came through. That was amateurish even for a high school production.

I thought of you when I posted that.  Thanks for the Hat Tip. :D
