"The set, by Mark Mendelson, was admirable...the seven main cast members sing and dance and tableau marvelously on the quaint stage of moving panels and platforms designed to bring the acting downstage into the audience. " -Theater Hound
"The production would be incomplete without the elegant set design, featuring paintings that allow the actors to appear as the frames’ subjects...The set features an overall smart design that allows for quick changes, with beds and desks easily whisked away as the onstage location changes. The transformation of the set into a winter resort, complete with actors throwing fake snow, is particularly stunning" - Daily Californian
"The set...is a marvel of flexibility: doors and more doors that serve various purposes..." - Talkin' Broadway
