The facts.
Spotlight Maestro is followspot cueing software for live production. It replaces the paper spot plot with a live cue sheet on any tablet, phone or laptop with a browser, and it follows the lighting console cue by cue.
It is made by Gavan Swift, a lighting designer whose work spans musicals, drama, opera, concerts and events. The app was built from the ground up as a professional followspot cueing system, and priced so that any production can use it, from a school hall to Broadway.
