2022 TAIT Yearbook

My Chemical Romance Foundations Tour

After their stunning one-off LA reunion show in 2019, My Chemical Romance began plotting a full world tour before COVID-19 put those plans on ice. Fast forward to 2022, and the show was back on, with MCR singer Gerard Way, Designer AJ Pen, Tour Director Jon Dunleavy and Production Manager Andrew ‘Juice’ Werlick conceiving a dystopian scenic masterpiece brought to life by our team in Wakefield. The band didn’t want another video-screen laden set of multimedia content; they wanted the stage design to tell the story. Our scenic and fabrication teams created destroyed buildings, scenic polystyrene rubble, and a variety of distressed set pieces alongside a stunning black kabuki drop and custom lighting ladders.
