4Wall - New York has a BLAST! with Kyodo Tokyo, Inc

How do you follow up BLAST!, a Tony Award winning stage production that attracted over 350,000 people in its first three years in Japan? For Production Company Kyodo Tokyo, Inc the answer was BLAST II: Mix, a new incarnation of the popular Broadway show whose tour this summer will feature lighting equipment from 4Wall Entertainment - New York. A spectacle of this magnitude needs stellar performances from many players, not the least of which is the lighting gear and the service behind it.

"Other companies always talk about how great their service is; the difference with 4Wall is that they actually deliver. From the moment we started with them, they have provided excellent support, both to me and to our production team. Additionally, they filled my entire shop order without requesting any equipment substitutions. They were able to roll with the punches as the production developed," said BLAST II: Mix Lighting Designer Mike Baldassari.

4Wall New York VP of Business Development Al Ridella expressed his pleasure with 4Wall's involvement in the show, saying, "All of us at 4Wall are thrilled to be a part of such a well known production and for the chance to show the capability of our equipment and our company to perform in the international market."

BLAST II: Mix, with Lighting Designer Mike Baldassari, kicks off in Kentucky before heading to Japan for dates in eleven cities including Tokyo and Osaka.
