PRG XL Video supplies MDG ATMe haze generators for “Hamilton: An American Musical”

The London production of “Hamilton: An American Musical” won seven Olivier Awards, including that of Best Lighting Design, at the awards ceremony in April 2018 at London’s Royal Albert Hall. PRG XL Video had supplied three of its MDG ATMe haze machines to this production when it opened in December 2017 at the newly refurbished Victoria Palace Theatre in London’s West End.

Lighting designer Howell Binkley and his associate LD, Ryan O’Gara, use the ATMe units constantly throughout the show. “There is no real scenery for this show,” says Binkley, “so the lighting has to create the different spaces required. We just wanted a very fine haze in the air - we don’t like to see clouds of ‘smoke’ appearing from the wings.”

“We use two of the ATMe generators in upstage and downstage positions on the stage right fly floor, and keep the third as a back-up,” Binkley continues. “They are the only haze machines in the whole show and were brought in by our production electrician Peter Lambert who changed the spec without telling us!”
