Award-winning scenic designer Beowulf Borritts has garnered much praise from critics. Entertainment Weekly was quick to point out the stunning world that New York, New York brings to the stage. “Boritt's lush, imaginative scenic design at times threatens to eclipse the performers, but they're usually up for the challenge. Each minute of New York, New York is buzzing with life, as background dancers and actors flit in and out of view, telling clever little visual stories, giving New York, New York the energy of its titular city.”

Meanwhile, The Wrap compliments the show for its “savvy” direction and choreography. “(New York, New York) ultimately delivers its blend of cultures with intelligence, style and, yes, good old-fashioned razzle-dazzle.”
