The action takes place on Josh Shaw’s most appropriate set depicting Ruth’s Greenwich Village apartment. The space is a clutter of overflowing bookcases, piles of newspapers scattered on the floor, notebooks and notepads piled up on her desk and coffee table - truly the home of someone more interested in creativity than good housekeeping. --LASplash.com
Designed by Josh Shaw, this Todd works wonders with a small stage, and the large chorus, like the orchestra, helps give it a big-production feel. --blogcritics.org
Shaw’s stage set is resourceful and practical in the small space. Shaw neatly solves the logistics problem with a foldable hospital gurney and a children’s playground chute to whisk the victims from the barbershop loft to the basement of the meat-pie establishment below. --LA Splash
