Britney Spears & *NSYNC Shows Are Like Broadway

Chris Macias of the Sacremento Bee spoke with set designer/art director Jim Day ahead of Monday’s Britney Spears concert at the Arco Arena. Day and Steven Cohen help design the stage used by Spears on this tour and has masterminded several other tours including *NSYNC’s. “Every time you’re talking about an *NSYNC or Britney Spears tour, it’s like taking a Broadway show out on the road,” Day says. “It might take up to 20 trucks to haul the sets around. *NSYNC and Britney — their training was with Disney, so they’re performers and can sing and dance at the same time. I’m an older rock ‘n’ roll kind of guy, but the kids seem to love it.”
