PRG Supplies 39 of 42 Tony-Eligible Productions in 2024-25

As the curtain closes on the 2024-25 Broadway season, PRG reports it played a role in 39 of the season's 42 productions, providing a range of technical services across lighting, audio, video, scenic, and automation.

"The complexity behind this season's productions has been truly remarkable," says Alexander Donnelly, VP/GM of Broadway at PRG. "From large-scale automation and integrated video systems to custom scenic builds and advanced lighting networks, we're proud to provide the technical infrastructure that enables designers and directors to realize their full artistic vision."

Among the company's highlights this season:

PRG played a role in every production nominated in the Best Musical Revival and Best Play Revival categories, and four of the five nominees for Best Musical and Best Play. In the scenic, lighting, and sound design categories, PRG supported 16 nominees.

The company provided the musical Redwood with an extensive range of services, including scenic, automation, lighting, audio, and video, with the largest LED display ever seen on Broadway.

It supported The Picture of Dorian Gray with audio, automation, scenic modifications, and a video package featuring LED walls and broadcast cameras. This visually innovative production featured Emmy-awarding actress Sarah Snook portraying 26 characters, interacting with herself via live and pre-recorded video.

For Swept Away, the musical based on The Avett Brothers' Mignonette album, PRG's scenic and automation teams helped to create a full-stage shipwreck, a feat recognized by the New York Times as one of the "Nine Best Theater Moments of 2024."

For an unconventional staging of the classic Romeo + Juliet, starring Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler and featuring music by Jack Antonoff, PRG provided lighting and audio services.

PRG provided lighting and sound for Buena Vista Social Club, the new musical inspired by the 1997 album. This production required an immersive sound solution that included performer tracking and onstage monitors built into the stage floor to ensure that the musicians could hear themselves and each other as they moved around the stage.

In the Best Musical Revival category, it supported Floyd Collins, Gypsy, Pirates! The Penzance Musical, and Sunset Boulevard.
