Critics review the show, but how often do they mention the design?

Did They Notice? is The Tech Table's new review tracker for the 2026–2027 season. For every Broadway and Off Broadway opening, we read the reviews from more than 90 critics at 26 publications, including The New York Times, Variety and Vulture, and pull every line written about the scenery, costumes, lighting, sound, projections, wigs and hair, and illusions.

Each quote is exact, credited to the designer, and linked to the original review. Look up a show, a designer, a discipline, a publication, a critic or a venue to see who is getting noticed, which outlets pay attention to design, and what was said about your own work. Nearly 100 productions are in so far, with more added as shows open. It is available only to Tech Table subscribers.

Reviews are up for A Few Good Men, In The Heights, The Heart, and many others!
