“Michael Pavelka’s design exhibits real class“
“Michael Pavelka’s set frames the Broadway star inside an ever-present, tilted proscenium arch – the wonky mirror image of the one at the Palace theatre. The suggestion is that she’s surrounded by audiences on both sides, forever the performer.”
“Michael Pavelka’s outstanding design“
