Hitec Servos Play A Role In Broadway Special Effects Award

“Luck Dog,” the large animatronic puppet at the center of the Broadway magic show AMAZE!, was brought to life with the help of Hitec servos and won the prestigious 2026 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Puppetry.
Axtell Expressions built the epic mechanical creature for Jamie Allan’s magic show that originated in London and later moved to the stage in New York City. The Axtell team spent six months developing the star of the show. With its imposing 6-foot head, featuring intricately designed blinking eyes that command attention, and a 16-foot neck that allows dramatic movement, this groundbreaking marvel of puppetry and technology elevated the visual and innovative spirit of this Broadway production.

“Hitec Commercial Solutions looks forward to continuing our collaborations with Steve Axtell and his talented crew as together we push the boundaries of drama and performance in the cultural landscape of puppetry and animatronics,” said Suzanne Lepine, client and media relations manager for Hitec.
