Show Details
& Juliet opened on Broadway last fall and has since been nominated for nine Tony Awards including Best Sound Design for a Musical. For sound designer Gareth Owen, it’s his fourth production, with previous shows opening in Manchester, UK (Sept. 2019),
London (Nov. 2019) and Toronto (June 2022, after a delay due to Covid-19). For the London production, a mid-sized d&b KSL sound system is in use. For Toronto, and also for the 1,055-seat Stephen Sondheim Theatre in New York, Owen shifted to d&b’s more compact XSL system. As with previous productions, the Broadway show is in surround sound, with “lots and lots of E6 and E8 delays.” For more details, see Theater Sound, FOH, April 2023, page 40.
