Date
March 2025
This article explores The Book of Mormon's transition to an all-LED lighting rig for their 2025 UK tour. Working with supplier Encore, the production team replaced their existing fixtures with Martin MAC Viper XIPs, Ayrton Diablos, and GLP X5s. Through interviews with lighting designer Sarah Brown, programmer Victoria Brennan, and the technical crew, the piece examines the practical considerations behind the switch - from maintaining the show's iconic floor looks to achieving significant energy savings. Notably, it captures lighting designer Brian MacDevitt's conversion from LED skeptic to enthusiast, demonstrating how careful planning and collaboration delivered both artistic and operational benefits.
