''The dark stage and its long mirror come to life through... Solomon Weisbard's dazzling lighting
design. He sculpts the space, and the dancers, isolating each in overhead spots, constantly playing against the light and
shade of the mirror images. Overtly colorful at times (like the dancers' rehearsal clothes, designed by Travis Lope), mobile
and emotional, Weisbard's lighting dances right along with the chorus. In the rousing final number, the backdrop turns into a
spectacular sunrise, and lights and costumes are awash in gold... high-kicking in that endless chorus line.'' -- Barbara Adams, Ithaca Times
