The year is 1982. Three game show contestants battle it out for a fifty thousand dollar prize that they all desperately need in this a funny, freewheeling rock musical about big dreams, big money, and big hair. With minimal scenery, lighting played a major role in the world premier of this new musical. Collaborating seamlessly with the director, writers, and other designers, I used vivid color, fluid movement, and precise timing to make sure every beat of the driving 80s synth-pop score landed just right.
