Beautiful and Damned, a glittering musical set in the 1920s telling the tragic story of Zelda Sayre and F. Scott Fitzgerald, is being lit by Nick Richings. Next door, at the Apollo Theatre, the acclaimed production of Edward Albee's play The Goat has transferred from the Almeida Theatre, with the production again lit by Peter Mumford.
Further along the Avenue, the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of All's Well That Ends Well, starring Dame Judi Dench, is playing at the Gielgud Theatre; the show is a sell-out and has recently had its season extended. The show is lit by Paul Pyant. Next door is the Queen's Theatre, the new London home for Les Miserables, where David Hersey has updated his Tony-award winning design with the latest equipment from White Light Hire and The Moving Light Company. White Light Hire has also provided a mini-rig to light a foyer exhibition covering the history of the Queen's and the plans that its owner, Cameron Mackintosh, has to re-design the theatre and build a new 400 seat auditorium on it's roof.
At the Palace Theatre, Les Miserables' old home which borders Shaftesbury Avenue, refurbishments are due to take place prior to the arrival of the new musical The Woman In White; some concerts will also be staged in the theatre prior to that show's arrival, these being run from the Strand 520i console supplied to the theatre last year by White Light Sales.
Finally at the top end of Shaftesbury Avenue, at the Shaftesbury Theatre, Thoroughly Modern Millie continues its successful run. The show's lighting was designed by Donald Holder.
These shows join many other West End plays and musicals using rigs from White Light, these including Endgame and The Holy Terror (meaning that, with the recent sales to the Coliseum, White Light equipment is also in use in all three theatres on St. Martin's Lane) as well as Anything Goes, Chicago, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Complete Works of Shakespeare, Democracy, Jerry Springer: The Opera, Joseph, Tonight's The Night and When Harry Met Sally.
