KV2 Audio » Case Studies » Kinky Boots at Royal Alexander Theater sounds just fantastic thanks to KV2
KV2 Audio is extremely proud to have the recently installed ESR series, (ESR215, ESR3000) delivering the experience of a lifetime at the Royal Alexander Theater in Toronto via the incredible production of Kinky Boots. The current show has already been extended into November because of enormous interest and demand. Live performances require a repsonse that will deliver extreme intelligability, whilst remaining natural, warm and full to all audience members. No other system, regardless of size evidently could provide such results.
Kinky Boots is a captivating show, filled with energy, dynamisicm and an engaging story drawing attention with an eye popping design. For such a performance to deliver this complete circle of pleasantries, it is a very satisfying experience to acknowledge that the KV2 Audio ESR system in place is a strong and important part of such a complex puzzle.
The KV2 Audio ESR series was hand selected by the audio engineers who put their names to the performance, and did so with confidence after having taken due diligence in sampling countless manufacturers and series of each Loudspeaker system. The added benefit, welcomed by all, was the small footprint, ease of installation and simple configuration for the venue filling sound system. Being able to do more with less was yet another show stopper which KV2 Audio was able to deliver upon.
„I am really impressed with the overall sound quality produced by the ESR215. The sound is just fantastic with vocals sounding natural and with excellent clarity“, says John Shivers, the main sound designer for the production. „The excellent performances from the actors on stage, and the musiciains in the pit make for a sound that is nothing less than spectacular“, adds Shivers.
The design team for Kinky Boots includes Tony Award nominee David Rockwell(Scenic Design), Tony Award-winner Gregg Barnes (Costume Design), Tony Award-winner Kenneth Posner (Lighting Design), Tony Award-winner John Shivers(Sound Design), Josh Marquette (Hair Design), Stephanie Gorin and Telsey + Company/Justin Huff, CSA (Casting), with Musical Supervision and Arrangements and Orchestrations by Tony and Grammy Award-winner Stephen Oremus.
