Matthew Marshall
“The visuals are a non-stop feast thanks to the combined work of designer James Browne and lighting designer Matt Marshall, who recreate the idealised dream of a disco. The costumes are a cascade of sequins and metallics, the lights multi-coloured and flashing, and the mirror balls abundant.”
“spectacular lighting and costuming. The glamourous array of costumes (James Browne) incite instant wardrobe envy, and the lights (Matt Marshall) immerse the audience in the vivacious atmosphere. Together, these elements curate a world of striking disco glamour.”
Jaynie Ng, stateoftheart.net.au
“the lighting design is a knockout, smoky spotlights that sculpt every performer into something cinematic, and the costumes are relentlessly, dazzlingly good, the sirens especially.”
Naomi Lawrence, cityhub.com.au
“Visually, the production is a feast. Sequins shimmer beneath vibrant lighting, extravagant costumes explode with colour, and every production number feels determined to outdo the last.”
“Matt Marshall’s lighting design bathes the stage in a kaleidoscope of colours, while six mirror balls cast sparkles throughout the room.”
“Matthew Marshall’s dazzling lighting and Amy Campbell’s snappy choreography are the perfect fit, enhancing the funky fun.”
Jo Litson, limelight-arts.com.au
“There is the requisite level of sequins and sparkle that are enhanced by Matt Marshall’s lighting design which keeps the audience guessing as to what the next number will be.”
