fiddler on the roof
“With great care not to completely reinvent but, instead, to enhance and highlight what already makes this material special, director Price presents a show that balances unvarnished reality with an artistic creative license, resulting in a beautifully-rendered, Broadway-caliber production that not only sounds good but looks good as well—aided tremendously by Anna Louizos’ striking set designs”
“Anna Louizos’ scenic design is mouth-watering”
“Anna Louizos’s set features a detailed hovel where Tevye and his family live in poverty, and boasts a backdrop of abstract homes and landscapes, evoking the works of Marc Chagall.”
“Throughout, the stage is dense with the characters and life of Anatevka, created not only by the actors but by a detailed, mostly wooden set (designed by Anna Louizos and Kevin Williams, with lighting by Japhy Weideman). Actors seamlessly rotate set pieces as scenes shift between Tevye’s home, a tavern and a tailor shop, assembling tables and chairs for Shabbat dinner, the tavern and Tzeitel’s traditional wedding.”
