Hello, dear friends on the forum! Hello, Roger and David!
I’ve been working on the lighting for a short film that includes a stage play recently. While looking for reference images, I’m really fond of the lighting effects on the stage in several scenes from *The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel*. (I also love the stage lighting in *Joker: Folie à Deux* which was just released this year! The cinematography is definitely top-notch this year!)
I’d like to ask Mr. David, when you were lighting that scene, did you only use the standing lamp in the frame? It seems to be a Par lamp. May I ask how you achieved that effect? I’ve also watched the stage lighting in this TV series. It’s simply amazing. Could you, or any other experienced friends on the forum, share some of your stage lighting experience with me? Thank you very much!

The Gaslight set was lit with black tungsten fixtures in the ceiling — 1K fresnels and 1K PARCANs with medium globes, often at 50% on the dimmer board. Sometimes I had to add a full scrim to knock them down further.
There was one tungsten Source-4 Leko with a 36 degree lens (I think) hung from the ceiling with an electrician in costume on a wooden ladder to operate it as a follow-spot. It had 1/2 CTB (blue) gel on it which is the bright light you are seeing in that still (on the right of it, you can see a PARCAN). Prop department made a simple cover for the Leko so it didn’t look so modern.
In this angle you can see the Source-4 Leko follow spot with the 1/2 CTB on it and a dimmed PARCAN on the right side.
