Hamilton

Decorative hardware laid out on a table, scenically finished as wrought iron for the Broadway production of Hamilton by Hudson Scenic Studios.
Flats scenically finished as brick for the set of Hamilton on Broadway at Hudson Scenic Studios' Yonkers, New York fabrication shop.

Hamilton's staging relies on continuous, precise motion, turntables and moving set pieces that shift seamlessly through every performance. 


Hudson Scenic Studios engineered, built, and automated the scenic systems behind that staging, designing for durability and repeatability from the outset so the moving elements could hold up across eight shows a week. The production has run continuously for over a decade, with the automated staging performing reliably night after night.
