Simon Hammerstein and Richard Kimmel of Outside the Box developed the initial creative concept for the show: A multi-act journey through a day in the life of Usher, tracked through a list of global hits spanning the artist’s 3-decade-long career. LMG Touring provided grandMA3 full lighting consoles to control more than 500 moving lights to create an enriching visual experience for the audience. Lighting was also key in creating a high-energy experience for the show. The dead branches are on printed vinyl stickers and attached to Perspex boxes that we dubbed the ‘fish tanks.’ Along the upstage side of the fish tanks is a line of video and asymmetrical ‘forest’ of Martin VDO Sceptrons. LMG Touring & Entertainment is proud to support Usher’s Las Vegas Residency at Caesar’s Palace through December 2021, creatively utilizing LED, lighting, disguise media servers, cameras and more to deliver a larger-than-life show featuring the eight-time Grammy winner’s greatest hits.
