If I Were You

About

The staging employed a spare, mobile scenic vocabulary, notably including a sculpted, wrecked car scenic element. Projections and contemporary costume design, suggesting present-day retail/consumer clothing, were also utilized. Lighting and projection design were instrumental in creating mood and establishing spaces. The staging emphasized fast-paced dramatic action, the transformation of characters when Fabian inhabits them, and ritualistic chorus scenes, such as a 'day of the dead' ritual moment. Director Keturah Stickann and conductor Nicole Paiement received particular praise in reviews for their clear direction and theatrical/musical control.
