The Broadway production of New York, New York made headlines upon winning all the major awards for scenic design.

Meanwhile, the musical also notably scored eight other Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical! Clearly, this show is a standout and many critics highly recommend that you catch this now!

According to the Village Voice review, “New York, New York is full of enchanting, swirling movement — the streets of Manhattan come alive with strutting and spinning residents — but it also makes time for the human element.” The article continued, “What has most noticeably been added is a fairy-tale tone, complete with an actual ‘Happy Ending,’ with the aim of being a lavish love letter to NYC and all its possibilities.”

Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly says, “Start Spreadin’ the news… there’s a new Phantom on Broadway.” The reviewer was also swift to praise Borrit’s “lush, imaginative scenic design at times threatens to eclipse the performers, but they're usually up for the challenge. Each minute of New York, New York is buzzing with life, as background dancers and actors flit in and out of view, telling clever little visual stories, giving New York, New York the energy of its titular city.”
