"But it was what transpired onstage that made this a night to remember, beginning with Strassberger's spare, conceptual but visually remarkable stage designs. Four squared prosceniums framed an upstage drop painted with pale sand dunes, and a sheer, removable scrim downstage allowed for dreamlike scene-openings." The Kansas City Star
“Veteran designer R. Keith Brumley has created a handsome new set for the show, and its warmth, style and psycho-visual impact sometimes kept the eyes and the mind busier than the ears. The Parisian hovel of Acts 1 and 4, for example, featured outer walls that angled toward us, giving a claustrophobic feel accentuated by the outward thrust of the window. It enhanced the acoustic resonance for the singers, and at the same time it made us feel a bit of the characters’ desperation. Even the "gay" street of Act 2 seemed intentionally garish, to suggest that beneath all the glitz – and the willfully too-lavish costumes by Martin Pakledinaz – lay poverty and suffering.” The Independent
"While it was refreshing, even inspiring, to see the work of a director who understands how to stage against the strong parallel lines of a proscenium theatre, perhaps most impressive were R. Keith Brumley's sets and Mary Traylor's costumes. Brumley especially used the Dell Hall drop-and-fly system extensively and to magnificent effect." The Austin Chronicle for an Austin Lyric Opera production "The ingenious, attractive sets by R. Keith Brumley made much of little..." The Kansas City Star
"R. Keith Brumley's lavish sets were possibly the best we've seen on the Lyric stage." The Kansas City Star
"Perhaps the greatest success of the evening was the stunning stage design of Wes McBride, alternately simple or elaborate, but always a visual treat." The Johnson County Sun
"Then there’s the set: an industrial wasteland, all concrete and corrugated metal. It’s a chilly marvel that aspires to the working man’s grime of the old Soviet Bluc but doesn’t wind up looking like Madonna’s video for ‘Express Yourself’." The Pitch
"R. Keith Brumley's economical but odd set design featured a plank floor topped by an upstage "shelf" that ran the width of the stage." The Kansas City Star "R. Keith Brumley's sets were simple but effective; the "native limestone" wall that divided the front of the stage from the back was a nice touch." Saint Louis Post-Dispatch
"The set was purchased from the New York City Opera and was made famous in the production from the 1960's featuring Beverly Sills. It worked well on the Lyric Stage." The Kansas City Star
"The production’s shortcomings are outweighed…by…inventive stage designs by R. Keith Brumley." The Kansas City Star
"R. Keith Brumley's set design makes an immediate impact as the first curtain goes up, where cavernous vaults meet geometric squares and a real sense of verticality and depth draw in the audience." KCMetropolis.org
