Olivia Newton-John always lights up the stage with her amazing performances. On her current national tour, the spotlight also showcases a shimmering silver satin backdrop provided by theatrical drapery rental supplier Rent What? Inc. The drop, one of the featured fabrics in the company's backdrops for rent in the silver satin series, was favored by Newton-John for its elegance, glamour, sophistication, and ability to take the light and produce a multitude of effects at the whim of the lighting designer.

"This is a fabric that recalls the glamour and swag of yesteryear," commented Rent What? principal Megan Duckett. "When the producers expressed the quality and emotionality they desired in the staging, our silver satin drapery collection immediately came to mind. This is one of those materials that gives a wide palette of lighting choices, so staging and lighting designers love it."

Once a client has presented what they are looking for, generally the professionals at Rent What? can direct the client to specific web pages to help them visualize various drapery choices via photos and videos. Recently added are expanded portfolio selections on the drapery company's Flickr and YouTube pages.

"It's our role to help guide clients to new directions that excite and inspire them. We don't tell them what they need but by listening and offering a fresh range of possibilities we can expand their creative vision," said Duckett. "They love this extra level of service. We're not a 'catalog' company as others might be."

The silver satin drape has also been featured on recent tours by Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, and John Mayer. Because the drapery treats lighting effects so individually, each tour bears its own unique visual signature despite the use of the same fabric series. "It's magical in that way," added Duckett.

The Olivia Newton-John tour continues in November in Jackson, Tennessee, San Antonio, Texas, Kalamazoo, Michigan, Atlantic City, New Jersey, and other East Coast cities.
