42 balloons

A new musical, by Jack Godfrey, brought to us the creation and development of a unique set for 42 Balloons.

With the skills of Ryan Funnel (RF Production Services) and Milla Clarke (Set Designer), the concept of the inside of a balloon for a stage was born. This was then drawn, engineered, built and painted within the vast space of Mi workshops.

The build has been photographed throughout, from the first cuts on the CNC to the finished beautiful craftsmanship at the rear of the set.

This new musical premiered at ‘The Lowry’ in Salford on the 18th April 2024, to rave reviews for the the production, music and staging. The carpenters and scenic crew at Mi are delighted to have been an integral part of the sets creation.

With such a great ‘vibe’ about a new musical hitting the theatres we can not wait to see how far this one flies.
