Seussical
Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre, 2017
“Phillip R. Lowe’s bright and dazzling costumes with matching wigs and make up by Yancey J. Quick and Anne M. Benson’s spectacular sets made me feel that I had truly been transported into a Dr. Seuss book. With ingenious use of color and true-to-Seuss design, the combination of costumes, backdrops and props are mesmerizing and enrich the enjoyment of the high-energy dialogue and musical numbers.”
- Front Row Reviewers
“There is a lot of excellent things to say about this production directed by Vanessa Ballam. In a show that is meant to awaken a magical, nonsensical world, the costumes and set can be a crowning element if done well. Set designer Anne M. Benson and costume designer Phillip R. Lowe were quite aware of this, and the colors, movement of stage elements, and design all combined to create the ability for the audience to feel transformed into the world of Dr. Seuss. Additionally, makeup and wig designer Yancey Quick deserves praise for the capability to add to the same ambiance and magic.” - Utah Theatre Bloggers Association
