Hey all-

I am designing lighting for a school production of Les Mis, and am struggling in picking out gel colors. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Specs are below.

-20 40deg Shakespeares on FOH (arranged into 5 groups)
-Three electrics with 20 down/side lights each (6x5 elipsodials)
-An empty back electric, to hang backlights on?
-Box booms on each side (8 dimmers on each)

Thanks!

Evan

i'm a big fan of R305 as a main front wash color for daytime scenes. Never lit Les Mis, so can't give any specific advice.
