“Philip Witcomb’s design’s are vivid and versatile”.
“Pure musical theatre heaven in a scintillating, glowing revival of the Broadway classic.”
The Stage ★★★★★
“Philip Witcomb’s Broadway is imposing, seedy, and somehow irresistibly elegant all at once. The sets slide effortlessly between modes, a puzzle box of a world to dissolve into.”
Musical Theatre Review ★★★★
“Not since 1982 at the National Theatre have the opening bars of Runyonland generated such a tingle of excitement as Philip Witcomb’s set design, built within Kilworth House’s ingeniously covered open-air space, captures the essence of New York complete with billboards, steam, and a glimpse of the Manhattan Bridge.”
