Back at MBC studios, Beirut, Lebanon, first tour for Your Face Sounds Familiar. This time we'll position the whole set at a 45° angle in the studio, it's a bit of a challenge working out all set markers. But placing this way means recycling the Voice's main audience positions which will save a considerable amount of time, and time we need because of the rather complex roof structure on this one. Many thanks to a great RBA crew, they did a great job preparing major set parts prefab in their factory!
