Who it's for
Same recording.
A different reason in every chair.
Built in a working theatre, for the jobs that happen in one. Start with your role, or find the kind of company you work in.
By role
Built for the people at the tech table.
LX programmer and designer
Every LX cue stamped on the frame it fired. Jump to a cue by number and fire it back to the desk to rebuild the state.
SM and DSM
Live Notes tagged by department, a session report when the run ends, and calls to every backstage screen through Stage Display.
Sound and video
Up to three audio tracks plus LTC, with QLab and media server cues on the same timeline, ready to fire back from playback.
Director
Jump to any scene, note or cue in seconds, and TimeWarp back through the moment you just watched while the run keeps going.
Venue and production manager
A record of every tech, dress and show, locked to house timecode, with reports ready for the production meeting.
- Receiving houses
- Producing theatres
- Community and amateur companies
- Drama schools and training
- Touring productions
- DSMs and freelance stage managers
Receiving houses
Every production in the building, off one Mac.
Each scheduled session carries its own show file, layout and session type, and the scheduler opens the right one before it rolls.
Import the season from a CSV once. Files land named by session type and number, and the report goes out when the run ends.
Start and stop the recording from lighting over Art-Net or sACN. It reads a parked channel, not a level, so a blackout won't stop the take.
Producing theatres
Tech and dress, with the cue data attached.
Every cue the desk fires lands on the timeline with its number and time. Search the take by cue number, cue name, or the note someone wrote against it.
The whole team notes from their own phones at once. Each note keeps the cue that was live and the frame it happened on, and anyone can draw on it.
Next morning, jump to a cue, watch the moment, and fire it back to the console so the stage matches what's on screen.
Community and amateur companies
Free to try, nothing to install on anyone's phone.
Playing recordings is free with no time limit. There's a 14-day Professional trial that records against your own console and clock, so the committee can see it work first.
Live Notes runs in a browser on the phones the team already has. Nothing to install, nothing to log into, and Theatre Mode keeps a phone from lighting up the row.
The session report arrives as a PDF at the end of the run.
Drama schools and training
Calling practice, scored against a real recording.
The Show-Calling Trainer runs against any recording. Call Standby and GO for each cue, get graded early, on time or late, and export the scorecard as a PDF.
Recordings become a teaching archive you can move through by cue, with the notes the team wrote still attached.
Education pricing is available for schools and their students. Apply at showrevue.com/education-apply.
Touring productions
A reference that travels with the show.
The take is a cue-aligned record of how the show looked when it was right. Land on the cue, look at the frame, then fire it back so a new venue's rig matches.
Notes, snapshots and reports stay with the recording. The MP4 opens in the web viewer with its cues and notes, with nothing to install.
DSMs and freelance stage managers
The log and the running times, handled while you call.
The report writes itself: every cue and media item as it happened, act and interval times, and running times against the last performance.
Stage Display carries your calls to every screen in the building. Half-hour, beginners and show stop are presets, and every screen counts down to curtain.
