Katy Perry's 'Witness' concert will be a spectacle to behold

BY MELISSA RUGGIERI/AJC Music Scene

When fans step into Philips Arena on Tuesday to behold Katy Perry’s “Witness” tour, they’ll be transported to a world of kaleidoscopic colors, mega-sized props (you can’t miss the salt and pepper shakers) and other visual dazzlers to accompany her set list of frothy pop songs.

While the inarguably plucky Perry is willing to fly high to entertain her fans and is a creative spirit as well, she turned to the Australian duo the Squared Division to help her assemble her stage show.

Ashley Evans and Antony Ginandjar front the production house that assists artists with their artistic needs, and they joined Perry as her creative directors and choreographers for this tour, which features 10 dancers, a six-piece band, and “hundreds” of people backstage dealing with wardrobes and technical aspects of the show.
