Actually never really had a problem burning it, we usually used shoebox or clothing type cardboard as opposed to corrigated cardboard.
You'd be surprised at how few Broadway shows don't use movers except for a single unit that is focused for multiple areas. We just had white Christmas and they used very few movers, as well as an eos control console. Movers aren't very suited for road theater use since they have to be constantly worked on and re programmed for different venues due to space constraint. I know several "pro" designers who would take conventionals with color scrollers over any mover any day.

Also, I disagree completely with the implication that an Eos isn't a "real" moving light console. American Idiot (both at Berkeley Rep and on broadway) and Rock of Ages (at both theatres) were programmed on an Eos. The RoA tour that went out this summer carries an Eos, and the 2nd natl tour of AI that's teching in Toronto next month has an Eos as well. There's a long list of running broadway shows that are using Eos, including Billy Elliot, Follies, H2S, Spiderman, Private Lives, RoA, Addams Family, Godspell, Lysistrata, and probably some others I'm forgetting.
You're right, I'm sorry. They both use an Eos as the conventional console, which is why they popped into my head, but now that I think about it, that isn't relevant here. Although the Addams 1st National Tour is travelling with an Eos for both conventionals and MLs.
