Oliver!

No wings, no crossover, no storage outside the stagehouse. Typical. The entire set for this Broadway classic had to remain onstage at all times. A modular set of wagons, which could conform to the various settings required while also providing ample space for the large cast, solved these logistical challenges and provided enough visual interest to establish the world of the story and characters.

Units built like scaffolding with interiors, back sides, overhead platforms and fold-out elements provided a sense of place, simultaneously setting the dirty, worn look of 19th century England.
