A good advance makes a show happen. A great advance makes it predictable.

[Platinum Road @PlatinumRoadcom]

The best settlements don’t start at settlement…. They start during the advance.

Before it reaches load-in, the show needs to be built, staffed, advanced, scheduled and ready.

That process is show advancing.

Production Perspective:

Experience isn’t about having seen every problem.

It’s about recognizing them before they happen.

[Platinum Road @PlatinumRoadcom]

Behind every great tour is a team you never see.

Touring Truth: The audience remembers the performance.

The crew remembers everything it took to make it happen.
