“The lighting design by Rob Siler and scenic design by Clayton Dombach is immaculate. The lighting consistently makes the set glow like golden hour, which was absolutely stunning – especially against the beautiful rocky backdrop of the canyon."
-Utah Theater Bloggers Association
“To top it all off, Rob Siler’s lighting design adds a continuous flow of color and intrigue to enhance each scene."
-Front Row Reviewers
“The visual storytelling is further elevated by the seamless collaboration of lighting designer Rob Siler, sound designer Josh Liebert, and projection designer Gabe Aronson. Siler’s lighting design moves fluidly with the action, shifting mood and focus with precision, while Aronson’s projections add depth and dynamism to the stage—at times even creating the illusion of floor-level changes through scrolling imagery. These visual elements work in harmony to expand the world of the Newsies beyond the physical set, immersing the audience in bustling streets and quiet rooftop escapes."
-Red Licorice Reviews
“Rob Siler's lighting heightens the drama with strategic spotlights and warm transitions seamlessly between street corners and dreamscapes."
