Crazy For You

“Beowulf Boritt’s set is cunningly fitted with revolving flats to flip easily between New York and Nevada.” ~Patrick Marmion, The Daily Mail

“Beowulf Boritt’s set is brassy with an old style glamour: silver curtains, dry ice, neon lightbulbs.” ~Arifa Akbar, The Guardian

“Beowulf Boritt’s sets, William Ivey Long’s costumes and Ken Billington’s lighting are all swoon-worthy: it feels like tumbling into a Golden Age MGM musical.” ~Marianka Swain, London Theatre

“Beowulf Boritt's set design is a cartoonishly fun idea. Whether whisking us backstage at the theatre or transporting us to the small town of Deadrock, the sets are visually stunning and full of whimsy. Boritt's attention to detail creates a world that is both realistic and wonderfully exaggerated, setting the scene in a way that lets the audience know exactly what they are in for.” ~ Lisamarie Lamb, West End Best Friend

“Gorgeous set design from Beowulf Boritt effortlessly transforms the beautiful stage at Chichester Festival Theatre from initial glamour to the downbeat town of Deadrock with fantastic sight gags and many a secret hidden away in its always delightful setting.” ~ All That Dazzles

“Then it’s non-stop pleasure, as Beowulf Boritt’s sets and William Ivey Long’s costumes transport us from backstage Broadway, to the wide-open skies and tumbleweed of flyblown Deadrock.” ~Sam Marlowe, The Stage

“Beowulf Boritt’s set design successfully transports us from the bright lights of a Broadway theatre, to a deadbeat mid-west town, gripped by the Great Depression.” ~Greg Stewart, Theatre Weekly

“This is echoed across all aspects of the production: lighting (Ken Billington) and set designs (Beowulf Boritt) all work perfectly well, with New York, New York Tony winner Boritt’s various Deadrock buildings leaving the space just in time for the next major dance moment.” Alex Wood, Theatermania
