Here’s another drop at Old Billingsgate. This one was more difficult to rig as there was no simple route for the pull line. The 4 banners under the net were held in place with 4 steel cables which were sharp to touch. I didn’t want the pull line going anywhere […]

Here’s a good example of how a 250 balloon drop looks. This one was installed at Stafford University. My ladders reached this ceiling so no need for hefty genie equipment.

We were back at The Apollo for wicked 10. This show just keeps running and amazing to think we’ve been installing these drops since the very 1st year. It’s been like a balloon drop apprenticeship, we’ve got slowly better and it’s good to use the skills in other theatres.
