This ensured that the audience did not get bored and the bright colors definitely caught the audience’s eye. Therefore, this part of the show helped it in becoming a huge success.

In the show, there was a real band playing underneath the stage. They had drums
set up there and this helped the sound boom louder much like a pit in an old time stage.
