The Queerty had nothing but commendation for New York, New York. “Scenic designer Beowulf Boritt captures New York City’s magic and mayhem with architectural detail and occasional whimsy (interior walls are purposefully cropped as if the city’s notoriously expensive square footage couldn’t accommodate), while projection design by Boritt and Christopher Ash and lighting design by Ken Billington flood the theater with a dreamlike quality.”

Meanwhile, the New York Theater commended the musical for its “spectacular sets, first-rate design, and energetic choreographies.” The review also mentions, “Even when the cast isn’t literally dancing, she suggests the bustle, hustle, and swirl of New York humanity with little wordless vignettes and in other clever ways, working in tandem with the breathtaking scenery.”

There is no uncertainty why New York, New York, is the most popular, must-see musical of 2025! The production is led by a talented creative team. The musical features musical compositions by Broadway legends John Kander and Fred Ebb. Meanwhile, esteemed writers David Thompson and Sharon Washington wrote the plot, which is vaguely based on the 1977 film with the matching title. Moreover, the show also showcases a exceptional cast for this summer!

These accolades included a Tony Award, a Drama Desk Award, and two Outer Critics Circle Awards!
