Round House Theatre 2017

Director & Choreographer: Matthew Gardiner; Scenic Design: Jason Sherwood; Costume Design: Frank Labovitz; Lighting Design: Grant Wilcoxen; Sound Design: Fitz Patton

“Matthew Gardiner delivers an illuminating version of the 2003 bluesy pop opera, with book and lyrics by Tony Kushner and a score packed with tempestuous, ear-pleasing riches by Jeanine Tesori. Gardiner, whom Round House imported from Signature, where he is associate ­artistic director, has assembled a formidable array of talent. Set designer Jason Sherwood impressively places the Gellmans’ multistory frame home on a turntable that Gardiner uses deftly to reveal the essential coldness of the household.”- Peter Marks, Washington Post

“Director/Choreographer Matthew Gardiner has done a great job pacing the show (probably more so than George C. Wolfe on Broadway) and navigating its complexities on a substantive level.”- BroadwayWorld
