Part two, the final part, of the full transcript from the interview Amara did with Lighting Designer Miriam Crowe, who is currently working on a new musical called “Freak the Mighty”.

Miriam speaks on the challenges of working on large-scale shows, insight into touring with rock bands and the importance of seeing yourself in media.

In Part One Miriam talked process, co-productions and equipment! Many thanks to Miriam for this open and honest glimpse into her process.

Based on the beloved novel by Rodman Philbrick, this new musical follows the adventures of two unlikely friends, Maxwell Kane and Kevin “Freak” Avery. Though Maxwell and Kevin feel like outsiders, together they transform into “Freak The Mighty”, a heroic duo empowered to take on the world. Shepherded by the Tony® Award winning producers of Come From Away, Freak The Mighty celebrates friendship, resilience and community in the face of adversity: a soaring new musical with the spirit to connect to the dreamer in all of us.
