You should note that the set was designed by a group of artists working with Jessica Grindstaff. The books, wallpaper, chandelier, paintings and many other artifacts were handmade by artists who worked on the set dilligently bringing their personal talent to the piece. Their labor of love and contribution should be noted. Their names are: Deana and Matt Acheson, Fatimah Durkee , Chloe Foglia, Jessica Grindstaff, Robert Jamieson, Michelle Harper, Alex Haring, Anders Johnson, Kara Koirtyohann, Tami Lee, Liz McGarrity, Francesca Mannoni. Senta Romasco, Erik Sanko, Christopher Young, and Becky Yurek.

This is definitely worth seeing. Just try to sit in the middle somewhere, as the sightlines are kind of limited on the extreme sides. If you're browsing through reviews, disregard the usual bitchiness from the Times' most bitter critic, Anne Midgette. She's a classical music critic, but occasionally does books and theater. She's crankier even than Michiko Kakutani, and doesn't seem to enjoy anything.
