Event Overview

"Under the Arches" was a 1930s-inspired theatre production held at The Charing Cross Theatre in London’s West End. The show featured live music, magic, and classic sketches from the era. Our team was brought in to provide discreet, high-quality audio reinforcement that would enhance the performance without disrupting the show’s authentic period aesthetic.

We supplied a complete sound package including six discreet head microphones, four speakers, and a digital sound desk, operated by one of our experienced sound engineers.

Discreet Setup:
Working closely with the production team, we designed a system that blended seamlessly into the theatre’s classic setting—ensuring that the technology remained out of sight while still delivering crystal-clear sound throughout the venue.

On-Site Delivery:
Our team managed the full process from load-in to technical rehearsal and live delivery, ensuring every cue, mic level, and transition was perfectly timed.

Results

The result was a flawless live performance that retained the charm and intimacy of the 1930s while benefiting from modern audio clarity. The audience experienced an authentic show with perfectly balanced sound that supported both dialogue and music without ever feeling “too modern.”
