Event Details
As LD Lee Rose explains, the Covid-19 pandemic made this year’s production unique. The 350 audience/dancers they’d typically have went to zero, then edged back up with addition of nine high top tables with 2-4 “pods” of people per table. In addition to being distanced from each other, those audience members closest to the stage were still 20 feet out. The FOH riser, typically 32 by 12 feet, expanded to 70 by 24 feet. This made room for video people to be brought out as to cut down the number of those in the video truck. Through the years, it’s all taken place at various places, usually on a sound stage — and those weren’t available this year. Since no one was using the L.A. Convention Center, they went there.
