“Visually, the production is stunning. Lee Newby’s costumes provide pure escapism, transporting the audience back to the early 1800s with the fabrics and period details. The set design is equally impressive, creating the immersive illusion of being inside a circus tent.”
“Instead, it feels like the theatre has temporarily shape-shifted into a big top, complete with glittering peril and gasps from the stalls. The set design by Lee Newby works beautifully within the Palace, with the staging almost seeming to mirror the grand old theatre onstage.”
I LOVE MANCHESTER
WHAT'S ON STAGE
★★★
"Set & costume design by Lee Newby is thrilling. There’s a lot to pack into this show to really set the scene. It all felt rich with vintage antique nods. You’re transported immediately behind the big top canvas and can almost smell the greasepaint !"
