“ Local scenic designer Robin Vest devised the massive, immersive set that puts theatergoers right on the porch of the wide-windowed house, making it seem almost like they’re eavesdropping rather than observing every conversation, confrontation and soliloquy. “ -The Oklahoman

“Set designer Robin Vest worked magic transforming Zach’s traditional Topfer theatre into a fully functional diner in the round.”
-The Austin Chronicle
“Top it off as the first Broadway musical in history to have an all-female creative team at the helm, and you’ve got a blue ribbon winner.
It pleases me to no end that ZACH has followed suit with the creative team engaged in their production! This extends greatly to the rest of the Production Team. Scenic designer Robin Vest, has impressively turned the Topfer stage into a diner in the round, complete with seats for folks onstage, and a pie section if you’d like a slice.”

“On a technical level, the production was decadent. Robin Vest’s fragmented yet versatile set, complete with an American Flag that fell apart and came back together at certain times, served as a powerful backdrop..” -Alex Isaak for The Pickup

"Scenic designer Robin Vest, who designed the Chicago production, has made the ballroom of the Rittenhouse Manor an immensely pleasing place. Sky-blue with white and gold accents and a stylized allusion to a crystal chandelier, it put me in the mood of old New Yorker covers and children’s books, such as Eloise, in its visual evocation of a Long Island mansion in the 1920s." -The Arts Fuse

“Robin Vest’s eye-catching set stresses the unreality of Neverland: giant flowers and insects, a subterranean dwelling place for the Lost Boys topped by a London Underground sign, a cheerful Jolly Roger that resembles a titanic paper pirate’s hat.” The Charlotte Observer

"Chicago looks swell in Robin Vest’s multipurpose set. That wraparound strip of green flooring (nicely set off by Aaron Rhyne’s bucolic video projections and soundman Bart Fasbender’s establishing bird twitter) represents Graceland, the picturesque cemetery where an old boozer who staggered home from his favorite bar one night and shot himself in the head has just been laid to rest." -Variety
