COME-BACK kings, Take That, have been wowing audiences with their 'Circus Tour' over the last few weeks with assistance from a firm based in Morecambe.
Water Sculptures of White Lund has been in collaboration again with celebrated choreographer Kim Gavin and the renowned production manager Chris Vaughan for the tour.
For the band's 'Back for Good' number, performed on the stadium's central satellite 'B' stage, a seven-metre high screen of water appears from jets concealed within the stage floor, which shields the boys from their screaming fans. As they walk in and out of the water screen, the water disappears and re-appears as though by magic.
Six tonnes of water are stored in tanks under the stage, which during the three-minute performance showers the nearby crowds. Although they are all offered waterproof macs before the show begins, most prefer to get a little wet as part of the whole Take That experience.
Water Sculptures director Alasdair Elliot said: "The boys were delighted, and so were we, in fact the whole production really is stunning – very well put together."
The demanding tour is in Manchester this week, and ends with two nights at Wembley stadium in July.
