‘In a white set streaked with vivid colour, designer Justin Williams and Jonny Rust simultaneously evokes a New York apartment and overgrown kids’ playroom – it proves a versatile backdrop for the various onstage liaisons, each pinpointed by Clancy Flynn’s quickfire lighting.’ – The Stage
‘With the aid of an extremely aesthetically pleasing, colourful set by Justin Williams and minimal props, the beauty of this musical is your ability to concentrate on both the lyrics and the outstanding vocals’ – Carins Theatre Passion
‘Justin Williams’ design is busy with the mundanities of home life suspended on the walls as if frozen in a moment in time – all in a pale wash with bold strips of colour which strike through.’ – Pocket Sized Theatre
‘Justin Williams and Jonny Rust pull out all the stops to create yet another re-invention of the theatre space (they are the most frequent and most imaginative designers at this address)’ – LondonTheatre1
