Choreographer & continuity & Playback 
Lighting Tech

2.

Gaffer & Set
1. The director was in charge for the most part however the 'Northern Soul' Style dancing was probably imputed by Newman as he had a love for it.
2.The set was done in an entertainment hall, like one that is usually rented out for parties. Maybe this was there way of making a link with the audience as it
