What is the role of a sound engineer in a Broadway show?
First, it varies greatly depending on whether the show is a play or a musical. You must wear many hats — those of politician, musician, interpreter, confidante, conspirator, dresser, and, of course, electrician. But none are as important as being the sound designer's daily representative in the theatre and maintaining the integrity of the com, radios, video, oh…and that sound equipment, too. (Can you sense the tongue in my cheek?)
