CT Shine with Take That
Hailed as the best current touring performance, Take That's The Circus Live – Summer 2009 tour exceeded everyone’s expectations – even the band commented that "This is the biggest tour we've ever done, it's the most exciting Take That tour yet!"
With concerts throughout the UK and held in the largest stadiums, over 1,000,000 tickets were sold for the flamboyantly themed extravaganzas, based on Take That’s latest album 'The Circus'. With the stage set as the Big Top, a ringmaster welcomed the audience to the show, which included jugglers, unicyclers, clowns and trapeze artists and incorporated dancers in feather showgirl outfits, a high wire act and the ultimate showmanship of the boy band themselves.
New songs mixed with old as Take That treated their fans to a spectacular that answered the question 'Could It Be Magic' with the confirmation that for many it was the 'Greatest Day'. However, 'It Only Takes A Minute' wasn’t a reference to all the pre-planning and preparation that goes in to such a sensational and memorable show.
Creative Technology has been involved in all three tours since Take That reformed, which enables CT to provide the production with experience and knowledge allowing for smooth transit and seamless rig and de rig for each of the stadium stints. Utilising a Barco MiTrix screen for the back screen and two IMAG panels for each side, CT once again worked alongside XL Video who provided the central circular screen.
