"Lee Newby’s set looks somewhere between a vintage proscenium arch and circus tent, decorated in gold and muted red, white and blue....In fact, this tour has been up-scaled perfectly, from Newby’s expanded composite design to Panter’s non-stop circus ensemble."

“One of the biggest strengths of the production, aside from its vocalists and circus performers, is Lee Newby’s stage design, with a beautiful theatre backdrop and some very elegant costume designs bringing plenty of welcome visual variety.”

“Plaudits, also, to set and costume designer Lee Newby. He is equally adept at serving the obvious circus tropes, albeit with a slightly weathered, honest feel – and then blink, and Newby is subverting it, satirising it. It is a design high-wire act, and he never falters.”
The Recs@therecsuk

"The production is exceptional. Actor-musicians playing 150 instruments, including one gleaming white sousaphone – the score doesn’t get sexier than this. Musically, this Barnum is thrilling. And vibrant." Read The Recs' review of Barnum currently playing at the York Grand Opera House: therecs.co.uk/barnum-the-cir…

“Lee Newby’s design is perfect, and really sets the scene of 1800s America. It’s circus but with that vintage edge; the slightly muted colours and lamplit haze. Costumes are tip-top too – from Lind’s opulent frocks to a troupe of stylised sad Pierrots.”

“The set and costumes designed by Lee are another strength of this production. The spacious living room and disability aids add to the luxuriously comfortable retirement of Hacker and the contrast of suits and pyjamas throughout highlights the frailty of the characters well.”

"The set, at first glance, looks almost too basic for the Apollo’s scale. But it rewards your attention, with shelves stacked with political books, framed photographs winking knowingly at long-term fans, and there are small visual jokes tucked into corners"
All That Dazzles@ATDazzles

Jim Hacker and Sir Humphrey reunite for one last wry battle with modernity in 'I'm Sorry, Prime Minister' at the Apollo Theatre. Read @HarryBower_’s ⭐️⭐⭐ review. allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-i-…

“The transfer to the Apollo Theatre allows the set to expand into something grander, yet it still captures the faded prestige of what these men once represented. The grandeur is tinged with melancholy, a reminder of both their past importance and their present irrelevance.”
