"Paul Tate dePoo III has designed an amusing set that features Victor Frankenstein’s library on one side and his laboratory on the other, incorporating Matthew Young’s video design for the Transylvania Loew’s Theatre for the work’s signature number, Irving Berlin’s Puttin’ on the Ritz."

- Ladue News

"All the laughs, frenzied limbs, and unlikely love stories are backed by Paul Tate dePoo III’s captivating scenic design. From the hand-painted backdrop that resembles a midnight Northern Lights to the secret laboratory that will make you feel like you’re alone in your creepy childhood basement, dePoo certainly sets the right scene for this horror-parody."

- St. Louis Magazine

"I have to shine a spotlight on a couple of immensely talented people who poured their time and talents into the show behind-the-scenes. Paul Tate dePoo III’s scenic design exceeds all expectations. It single-handedly transports the crowd to Transylvania."
