Imagine you need to pop at least 21 times a bottle of champagne for the show, here are some fun facts about what our Production team ended up doing for this task:

 

• We’re using a household Soda Stream to carbonate the water.  

 

•We’re doing this instead of buying club soda because it’s less plastic waste.

 

• We’ve modified the corks to be easy to get in and out by reducing their size on a lathe.  

 

• The corks get continually used until they break.

They need two corks for each performance.

 

• We did a lot of experimenting to find a good pop that is easy for the actors to use.
