TRAVEL BACK TO A TIME OF GRANDEUR

Date Written: Aug 30, 2024 Written By: P. Sumner

I have never in my life experienced such artistry. The devil truly is in the details, from the moment you walk into Conwell Coffee Hall to the moment you step into J.G. Conwell’s office. The level of craftsmanship and detail is astonishing—I had to blink twice to remind myself I wasn’t actually transported back in time. I have never seen a production on this scale. Every room holds a surprise, and I audibly gasped at the atrium at the end —this kind of architecture is a rare find in modern-day New York City. What this production has done to preserve the glamour and grandeur of the Gilded Age and the Art Deco of the 1920s is worth the price of admission alone. But exploring the maze of trinkets and treasures while following performers delivering impeccable work? It’s an absolute must-see.
