Arches, Drops & Races
Today we installed another theatre drop at Bloomsbury Theatre, London. This was a smaller 400 drop for a comedy show and I included a few larger 16″ White to add a bit of fun. We followed the usual procedure, dropping the net from the balcony for easy filling and then pulling it up into position. […]
Here’s the decor for Hamilton press night, I had to decorate the Theatre & the Uni both in close proximity. The lighting guys did a fab job turning a cold hall into a warm party room.
Every December we decorate this theatre in the theme of the Christmas show. Mainly we cover the stairs but also a VIP area on the first floor. No idea why but this building makes the balloons burst on any ceiling – metal, concrete or plasterboard. So I used my balloon corral again to save the […]
Can’t believe I’ve been doing this drop for 17 years – Apollo Theatre, Victoria
Organic Garland to frame The Angry Crab Shack in the Theatre District of London. I used carb foil shaped balloons and vinyl graphics on the larger 16″ balloons. As usual, my thanks to Laura & Alex for the help.
I’ve been following the Les Miserables tour around the UK for 2019. Now in 2020 they’re back in London at the reopening of the stunning Sondheim Theatre. It was great fun decorating the Ham Yard hotel and creating this crazy massive bunch for the stairs. We helium filled 2000 x 12″ balloons. We were working […]
Wicked 13 put on a fantastic night for their anniversary. We did the usual balloon drop and then supplied a balloon wall for the after show press night. The 2000 drop for wicked 13 was installed at The Apollo Theatre, Victoria and the wall setup in The Park Plaza. I used vinyl graphics on this […]
People and Balloons make for great photos and a great backdrop is asking for a social media share. There’s nothing better than seeing smily faces in front, behind or under them. When I build a wall or arch I never get to see the fun it leaves behind – but after a social media search […]
For COMPANY press night we decorated they’re party in The Prince of Wales theatre. We’ve also been Hi-Floating 16″ Sapphire once a week in their Shaftesbury Avenue theatre. A huge thank you to both of you for all of your hard work yesterday. The party was a triumph and both theatres looked amazing I think […]
For the launch of the movie “Mamma Mia Here we go again” the theatre show had a special night. I installed this entrance arch and some bunches in each bar to dazzle up some preview screens of the new movie. This was an install at 5pm and de-rig at 11pm….. so I got myself some […]

For the 1000th show of Kinky Boots we worked with the Adelphi Theatre on The Strand to celebrate with this balloon drop. The Red balloons were printed 2 sides ‘Kinky Boots”. Check some of our other theatre decorations.
