Troxy

The Brief

A former cinema opened in the 1930s and now a grade II listed building, Troxy was restored to its former glory following a major refit in 2007. The total capacity of the venue stands at 2,600, with a stalls area of around 800 while the upstairs balcony includes a front row of table seating for 200 VIPs, and a further 600 seats behind. Halo was asked to provide a complete lighting and rigging solution as part of the refit.

The Installation- according to Leo Batchelor, Night Magazine October 2007

Halo’s lighting installation has given the venue a full complement of Robe fixtures capable of a fantastic lightshow for both live and corporate events.

The two main trusses above the stage both include two bars of six Par 64s, two Martin Professional strobes, eight Robe 575 AT spots and eight Robe 575 AT washes as well as eight multi profile spots to project gobos onto the stalls. The rear truss has an extra four cell blinders, and the whole system is channelled through an Avo Pearl desk and a 48 channel dimmer, while a Martin Jem ZR33 smoke machine, a Le Maitre Neutron hazer and two Strand follow spots complete the installation.

With a fully kitted out stage and auditorium, a talented and committed management team and a stunning period auditorium, Troxy well deserves the hype that has surrounded its first few months of operation. Book early and beat the rush.
