Hot on the heels of its worldwide movie success, the London stage production of MAMMA MIA! has just entered its eleventh year. And to celebrate, Sennheiser has added some extra sparkle to the proceedings.
The production has used Sennheiser G2 SKM5000 wireless microphones for the ‘three Dynamos’ closing performances since the outset of the production, but to celebrate the show’s 10th anniversary, Sennheiser created a set of specially made ‘blinged’ microphones.
Using the same Swarovski crystals used in the production’s Lycra stage outfits, Autograph Sound helped swap the microphone’s bodies and cages allowing Sennheiser to painstakingly create the special, and much sought after, sparkling look.
“We’re delighted with the new look microphones, we use the SKM5000 (with Neumann KMS105 heads) for eight shows a week. They sound fantastic, are very reliable and really fit in with the spirit of the show.” says MAMMA MIA!, Head of Sound, Fabian Petersen.
So delighted were the MAMMA MIA! production team at Andrew Treagus Associates that they have decided to keep the 10th anniversary Sennheisers as a permanent fixture in the show and to customise the ‘three Dads’ mics for the final number too.
You can see MAMMA MIA!, bursting with Sennheiser bling, at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London.
