“With great care not to completely reinvent but, instead, to enhance and highlight what already makes this material special, director Price presents a show that balances unvarnished reality with an artistic creative license, resulting in a beautifully-rendered, Broadway-caliber production that not only sounds good but looks good as well—aided tremendously by Anna Louizos’ striking set designs”
“Anna Louizos’ scenic design is mouth-watering”
“Anna Louizos’s set features a detailed hovel where Tevye and his family live in poverty, and boasts a backdrop of abstract homes and landscapes, evoking the works of Marc Chagall.”
“The scenic design by Anna Louizos masterfully captures the modesty of Anatevka, with a single shack in the midst of a backdrop of other homes and a projection screen depicting clouds, sunrises, and sunsets.”
“Throughout, the stage is dense with the characters and life of Anatevka, created not only by the actors but by a detailed, mostly wooden set (designed by Anna Louizos and Kevin Williams, with lighting by Japhy Weideman). Actors seamlessly rotate set pieces as scenes shift between Tevye’s home, a tavern and a tailor shop, assembling tables and chairs for Shabbat dinner, the tavern and Tzeitel’s traditional wedding.”
