The Greatest Showman (Bristol, London)
Project scope
The Greatest Showman brings the 2017 hit film to the live stage, telling the story of American entertainment pioneer P.T. Barnum and his journey to create the most spectacular show on earth. The stage adaptation amplifies the spectacle with live acrobatics, powerful vocals and a scale of production that goes well beyond what cinema can offer.
STS delivers the full technical backbone for this production. The package includes a wireless truck for flexible set movement, a comprehensive hoist installation featuring 80 winches, and the complete show automation. With 80 individual hoist points, STS enables the kind of large-scale aerial choreography and set movement that a show of this ambition demands. Every flying effect, every set change and every dramatic reveal runs on STS systems.
