“Set designer Beowulf Boritt's colorfully stylized Metropolis.” ~Joe Leydon, Daily Variety
“The Theater Center shows off superpowers in its production. Beowulf Boritt's sets and Jennifer Caprio's costumes ideally blend the looks of old-fashioned comic books and classic musical comedy.“~Lawson Taitte, Dallas Morning News
“The set, by Beowulf Boritt, is spectacular, with drops of towering back-lit skyscrapers upstage, painted with rakish visual perspective to add dimensional height against a brilliant blue sky backdrop.” ~Alexandra Bonifield, Dallas Pegasus News
“Visually and technically, it's a stunning piece of theater. The enormous, complicated scenery by Beowulf Boritt exploits all of the Wyly's whizbang mechanical tricks (the show begins with young Kal-El's rocket lifting off from Krypton, which is pretty cool).” ~Elaine Liner, Dallas Observer
