Because pandemic choreography rehearsals were cut down | 6 Things We Learned From The Weeknd's The Show That'll Make You Appreciate His Artistry Even More

Because of the pandemic, choreography rehearsals were cut down significantly. "With COVID, we can't have too many rehearsals. Some people rehearse for three, four months for Super Bowl," Charm La'Donna, the choreographer behind The Weeknd's performance, explained. "I think I've had two rehearsals, and one rehearsal was on a four-hour Zoom."
COVID-19 restrictions were so tight that the team was not allowed to build a set on the field like previous shows have. Instead, the crew built a Vegas-themed tiered deck downstage, which took three weeks to load in and was populated by approximately 75 choir members.
The gold Infinity Room The Weeknd danced in was as spectacular as it looked on TV. It featured over 7,000 active light bulbs.
