New UV Green Sequin for London Theatre

​We were delighted to be asked to provide the new green sequin fascia for the “Wicked” show in the Apollo Theatre in Victoria, London.
To ensure the sequins retained their bright green colour against long term sun damage we made sure to use UV resistant sequins for this project. Altogether we needed to populate 800  shimmer disc panel boards with the 30mm bright green sequins, this meant over 51,000 sequins were used for this and the UV sequins were specially produced for this project. The final effect is stunning and the UV resistant green sequins will retain their colour beautifully.
The green colour of the sequins matches the branding of the “Wicked” show which is one of the most iconic and enduring shows in London and which has unique and attention grabbing signage for this theatre. The sequins and shimmering disc panels are beautifully lit from beneath the signage throwing up a green colour light onto the shimmering sequin fascia creating an atmospheric and spooky feel to the front of the theatre. This green lighting extends past the signage and makes the building stone a green colour so the drama begins even before the theatre-goers enter the building.

Our black 30mm  Beyer Polycarbonate backing boards were used in this project adding a strong and resilient backing panel for these green UV sequins. We manufacture these boards ourselves with integrated pins that become invisible to the eye.
Also in the West End Theatre heartland of London we have supplied new shimmer disc panels for the Thriller musical.
