PRESS

"A handsomely designed production, it also sounds terrific (music direction by Ben Moss, orchestrations by Mr. Mills and Mr. Moss, sound design by Kevin Heard)."
- Laura Collins-Hughes, The New York Times

“Although the horrors of war are acknowledged—sound designer Kevin Heard conjures ear-shattering shelling, and there's a poignant scene with a German POW—they are rarely dwelled on. Musical instruments stand in for weapons, and the evocative images that Lianne Arnold projects on her multilevel pegboard set are never graphic. The Hello Girls is painted in broad, sometimes sentimental strokes, but it is undeniably inspirational. When the cynic in you has an urge to roll your eyes, you may find them filled with tears.”
- Raven Snook, Time Out New York

“I loved Lianne Arnold’s multitiered set and projections of 1918. Whitney Locher’s costumes re-created the uniforms and helmets of the era. Kevin Heard’s sound design put us under fire and Isabella Byrd’s lighting set the mood. I felt like I had been set back in time.”
