At first glance, the set designed by Cecilia Carey is quite like most modern musicals- sparse and well lit. However, as the show progresses, the set adapts to portray a variety of settings and utilises every inch of the stage at Home MCR. Costuming, also by Carey, was distinctive for each of our protagonists, extending the efforts made by a fantastic book to give our leads depth and dimension. At times, the basic jumpsuits for the ensemble members became confusing, especially for actors playing multiple roles. Although small motifs were added by way of a lanyard or a hairband, a bigger change would allow a smoother transition. A lab coat wouldn’t have gone a miss for those at the back of the theatre, I’m sure. Lighting Design by Peter Small was highly effective throughout and provided ‘wow’ moments aplenty. (You certainly won’t need to keep an eye out for the hashtag moment…)
