There are vivid and flamboyant costumes- set and costume designed by Zahra Mansouri, and the recurring visual theme is one of lighting trusses arranged in ever more complicated concatenations to accompany the complications of married life

Fehr and his designers (sets by Nicky Shaw, costumes by Zahra Mansouri) have a bold idea: during the overture, the drop-curtain becomes a giant TV set showing an animation informing us that we’re about to watch a sitcom from days gone by.

This rip-roaring revival of the 1948 collaboration between Kurt Weill and Alan Jay Lerner touches a nerve and reinvents the genre … they have commendably returned to launch this minimalist but highly effective staging by Matthew Eberhardt, economically designed by Zahra Mansouri.
