Jonathan Deans

Sound Designer

Jonathan Deans is one of the most sought-after sound designers in the world. Before coming to Cirque 12 years ago, he created the sound for A Chorus Line, Les Misérables, Fosse, Saturday Night Fever and Beauty and the Beast on Broadway. For the new Cirque show at MGM Grand he has opted for forward-facing concert system, plus a multi-channel system to deliver finely-focused, individually-targeted sounds that dance, drag and push each member of the audience into a unique immersive aural environment.

"I want to feel as though the sound is in me, on me and in my face."
