This theatrical company did the exact same show, Scrooge, the musical the Christmas prior, and one of the challenges was lighting it differently from before. The set was completely different with a revolving “clock”, and LED bars were installed underneath that were lit every time a ghost appeared or “magic” was happening. Fog was also utilized to accentuate the atmosphere.

This musical retelling of the classic children’s story utilized a lot of zoning, as well as specific spotlights as seen here. “Hallways” were created using light as Mary and Archibald wandered the Manor, just missing each other as they passed in the darkness.

Guys and Dolls features several different locations and different times of day. This scene pictured takes place in early morning, so the stage was bathed with soft pinks and yellows. The iconic sewer scene (where the song, “Luck Be a Lady” is sung), was created using a projection light to simulate water dancing on the wall, as well as lights shining through a manhole.

The look in 1984 was stark and white for the Ministry of Truth and for Room 101 - but warmth was utilized when the scene shifted to the interior of O'Brien's home - to show the difference between what the Ministry offered their underlings vs. what they offered those in the inner party. A solo spot was the only light for the scenes in Room 101, showing Winston alone and emphasizing shadows.
