See the Three Decembers design here. Watch our presentation at the 2015 Opera America Conference here. Read the press release here. "There are lots of nice touches throughout the staging. One in particular caught my eye… I've always thought it a lovely moment in the piece that often goes for naught if not well staged. Here, Miller gives it its due. All in all, lovely stagings." Read the full Talkin' Broadway Review Suor Angelica & Gianni Schicchi here. "Everything about this production works beautifully... Josh Miller has staged this work so it is set in a physical church space, which surprisingly works to free the work rather than constrict it. His staging is full of gorgeously constructed stage pictures and he has created lovely moments of connection amongst the chorus members." Read the full Broadway World Review of Bernstein's Mass here. "I've never seen it staged that way, brilliant idea." Alexander Bernstein, after seeing his father's Mass. "the zanny family’s antics zigzag over the stage and they’re FUNNY" Read the full Oregon Arts Watch Review of Suor Angelica & Gianni Schicchi here. "Miller's choices gave either a simple sober nod to the tale's horror or a wink at its mischievous sense of humor." Read the full Austin Chronicle Review of Sweeney Todd here. "an iconic work that has been given a smart and snappy staging" Read the full Broadway World Review of Jesus Christ Superstar here. |
