What are the proper height and weight requirements in oder to fly in a stage production?

Question

I was curious as to what the height weight requirements are in order to fly in an onstage production?I tried looking it up on google but I couldn't find a thing so I was wondering if anyone knew off hand or knew of a website that would possibly have this information. thnks :)

Answer 1

There are no legal restrictions or anything. The equipment just needs to withstand the weight of the performer and so the equipment is made/ordered to this criteria. It would then be tested to its limits again and again to make sure it is safe. As long as everything complies with health and safety regulations, then practically anyone can be lifted using wire or other methods.

Answer 2

I think it depends on the show. In Wicked they have the flying monkeys, and then there are ground/tumbling monkeys.
