In the last quarter of 2016, Prosound’s premier brands and their prolific technical
director and sound designer, Mark Malherbe, were heavily involved in amplifying
the biggest hit musicals in South Africa to appreciative audiences around the
country.
Annie, the world’s favourite family musical, played to rave reviews at
Johannesburg’s Teatro at Montecasino, starting its run in October and finishing with
a flourish between December and early January at Artscape in the Mother City.
The Sound of Music captivated audiences and critics alike over December at the
Playhouse Company’s Opera Theatre in Durban.
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat at Pieter Toerien’s Montecasicano
Main Theatre returned by popular demand early in November. As always the show
is superb!
Meyer Sound’s superior sound reinforcement systems brought incredible speech
intelligibility and audio fidelity along with effortless power to attendees at the shows
ensuring everyone had the best possible experience. Midas PRO series mixers gave
the engineers ultimate control and flexibility, while DPA d:screet microphones
stayed out of sight but very much perfectly situated in the mix.
West Side Story, the smash hit musical, is currently mesmerising audiences at The
Mandela at Joburg Theatre with the same audio equipment elements in place.
Upcoming shows Priscilla Queen of the Desert, King Kong and Funny Girl will also all
be utilizing the magic combination of Meyer Sound, DPA, Midas and Mark Malherbe
to enchant audiences nationwide.
More details on the shows and in-depth information on the equipment used will be
posted in follow up articles.
