I am a entertainment lighting technician.  I am interested in finding
out what company deals with the lighting crew for David Copperfield's
Live TOURS and how to contact this department.  This company may be
whoever produces the show.

I suspect that whoever produces the show also deals with hiring
personell for the tour, but am not positive on this.  In the case of
most rock tours...say Madonna for instance, there is a third party
contractor who deals with sound or lighitng,  many times the crew
works for the contractor and not the producer or the artist.  I do not
believe this to be the case with David Copperfield.

A good example of a similar show relationship would be a Disney On Ice
show.  Disney on Ice is produced by FELD ENTERTAINMENT.  Feld
compleatly produces the show and owns all of the equpipment for these
shows.   This company directly hires the crew.

Hello dasmaschin,

I have been able to find the company that is producing David
Copperfield's live tours, and the names and e-mails for the general
manager for David Copperfield's tours and the promoter rep. However I
am unable to confirm that they are responsible for the lighting crew.

If you feel this information is sufficient let me know.

Best regards
