The Nutcracker

In this Broadway scaled set, nine major pieces were tasked to Chicago Scenic. Not only did the scenery have to fill The Joffrey’s stage, but as a traveling show, it also needed to be versatile enough to accommodate different venues.

CSSI spent countless hours researching ideas to create a set that would be structurally sound yet as light as possible. One of the solutions was to laser-cut aluminum for the World’s Fair Traveler pieces. CSSI also conscientiously chose materials that would be resilient and easy for travel, considering aspects such as how a piece breaks down to fit in a truck, load into a theatre, and assemble in the space.
