Kulturpoebel.de / 22 June 2016:
“The really fantastic stage design by Christoph Weyers, which is very multi-faceted and creates amazing scenes again and again, is impressive. This high-quality work is ready for any German long run!”
Thorsten Wulf / musicalzentrale:
“(...) The stage design by Christoph Weyers completes the visually perfect picture. It is amazing what the rather small stage in Fulda can achieve. Each of the more than twenty scenes looks different and is often lavishly decorated. Modern background projections suggesting the skyline of Isfahan, for example, complete the overall visual impression.”
Osthessen Zeitung / 18 June 2016:
“Christoph Weyers has given the stage design a very modern touch. Whether it is a poor district with a barn or a dazzling Orient with a gigantic Persian carpet – the images are varied and impressive at the same time. Once again, his team has managed to present several places on one stage in an oversized way with just a few elements. The even inserted various animations to stage the weather, for example.”
Letzebuerger Journal / 19 June 2016:
“(...) With effective stage constructions, such as building facades and a large staircase, as well as video projections, Christoph Weyers depicts the Persian city on the stage of the Schlosstheater. (...)”
M. Sommerfeld / Musical 1 / 21 June 2016:
“(...) The level here is clearly higher compared to previous Spotlight productions. The stage design by Christoph Weyers also shows an improvement in this regard. Many changing elements transform the stage again and again into new settings on the exciting journey. While impoverished London is still very dark and gloomy, it becomes increasingly oriental and colourful in the course of the story. It is almost amazing what can be done on the small stage in the Schlosstheater . (...)”
Markus Zeller / musicals / Aug./Sep. 2016:
“(...) The stage design by Christoph Weyers is opulent and surprisingly versatile, in view of the limited technical conditions at the Schlosstheater Fulda, it is a remarkable achievement. (...)”
Stephan Drewianka / blickpunkt musical /July-September 2016:
“(...) Another star of this 2 million euro production is the wonderful stage design by Christoph Weyers, which impressively brings to life the different venues on a rather small stage. (...)”
