Adam Savage Examines the Props of Hamilton!

Adam goes back stage on the San Francisco touring production of Hamilton to check out a few of the numerous hand and stage props used for the musical. The show's prop master gives us an up-close look at some of the iconic objects from the show, from King George's scepter to Hamilton's dueling pistols!

You can tell the prop master is finally being able to tell his grievances with someone that understands lol

[clarabrandaog]

my childhood watching mythbusters meets my adulthood being a major theater nerd

[TheFirstNoel]

Prop nerd in me: this is so cool!
Theatre actor in me: If it’s not your prop, don’t touch it!

[KingYurtleOfTurtle]

5:18 The face of a man who has just discovered a new tool and is already thinking about how to use it

[KbShort]

Adam: *picks up two chairs for 1 second each* "This one feels lighter. That one was the repaired one..."


That's some skill.

This video packs all of my favorite things -- Hamilton, behind-the-scenes tours, Adam Savage geeking out, Tested videos -- into 11 minutes and 50 seconds. Perfection.

You know you’d think professional actors would be better at not breaking props than Highschool actors
And you’d be wrong

[reneehunt]

Adam, you NEED to make your own Hamilton Dueling Pistols for your collection!!!

[fen]

6:18 I love it when people catch themselves right before they walk through a shot.

[BigBreadBoi]

Haha you could feel him sweating when Adam was handling the sceptre

[TheLastJack]

The one man who can break the “don’t touch other people’s props” rule.

[EvanMoore]

Adam: These pistols must get a lot of abuse.
Me: "These pistols MUSKET a lot of abuse."
Picard: *facepalm*

[Jetterz]

"How does somebody break that chair?!" THE LOOK THE PROPMASTER GAVE HIM. Dying of laughter!

[EddieMaine]

10:36 "These MUSKET a lot of abuse."
I see what you did there Adam.

[victoriameduza]

I love the little detail of the lion head at 10:15, because historically they would call Hamilton little lion because of the shape of his mouth.

[urbobne]

5:16 you can pinpoint the moment multiple use cases fly through Adam's mind as he learns of a new material

[johno]

Love the petting of the brick walls that Adam did when they crossed sides.

[JTPhilly]

6:17 me checking on my wife with the kids and then realizing the kids are screaming

[mudgetheexpendable]

Prop master = hoarder with a job. Gawd bless 'em every one.

[Melmaster]

Adam’s childlike wonder at all the things showcased on Tested is by far my favorite part of the channel.
