www.nhregister.com: There’s something magical about peeking into miniature worlds where we marvel at the “how did they do that” aspect of the creation.
Welcome to Ming Cho Lee’s world. His set designs have graced the stages of the world in more than 300 productions, from theater to opera to dance, and now, as the Tony Award-winning Lee (“K2,” 1983) settles into retirement, a glorious exhibit of his set models gives a rich glimpse into that world through Feb. 1 at the Yale School of Architecture Gallery.

I went to see this exhibit! (and there was a documentary playing there that included Susan Tsu!)I loved the exhibit- all of the set models were so intricate and beautiful. Just as the article mentions, one of the best part of the exhibit was the inclusion of his watercolors, which were stunning and made me ashamed of my attempts at watercolor. You can really see how his background in painting entire landscapes made him able to fit a whole world onto a stage. I especially loved the comments, one of which is mentioned in the article: “Too complicated. Trying to say too many things. A very ’60s design.” Oddly enough, almost all of the publicity for this exhibit was a picture of that very design!
