The Challenge
To concept the visual graphics and theme for the cabaret and create a marketing strategy to promote the show and sell tickets. Working closely with the show's production team.
The Solution
I worked closely with the creative and production teams, and we discussed the idea of using a spotlight within the show, I translated that idea onto the booklet, in the form of a fold out corner, and in the concept for the poster and title of the show.
I also worked with the cast and production team as the theme of their cabaret was ‘lesser-known songs within shows’, and ‘singers performing songs they wouldn't normally be able to’, so I undertook a photo shoot that involved dress up, and we agreed on the idea of an instagram takeover where the cast is reacting to one another in a separate image.
The show successfully sold out in 2016.
