Backlighting on a stage is really just eye candy so it doesn't need to be super powerful and the more light sources there are the better, the trend these days seems to be with spot or beam lights. Front lighting of the performers is separate and generally should be a warm white... not colored, it should also be overhead at a 60deg angle if possible so as to not blind them. If doing this with LEDs the use of a small number of point source spots is much perferred to a distributed system of many sources like an LED bar because that generates a complex arrays of shadows that does not look natural.
