Kirk A. Domer created the set to look like an intense rock and roll show with scaffolding everywhere, sometimes missing stairs creating precarious angles for actors to perch on. But it all looks more dangerous than it is, and perhaps that is all simply by design from director Rachel Klein, who guides the show wisely. The production moves at a great pace and is dazzling to look at, but it feels more akin to pageantry than peril. It has less menace than it thinks it does. It is as beautiful to look at as the dancing from Sharna Burgess.
