abstract:Joseph "Jo" Mielziner (March 19, 1901, in Paris - March 15, 1976, in New York City) was an American theatrical scenic, and lighting designer born in Paris, France. He is "the most successful set designer of the Golden era of Broadway", and worked on both stage plays and musicals.
Jo Mielziner's reduced scenic contribution was grimly lighted by Mr. Stanley, while Santo Loquasto gave the 24-dancer cast new and lackluster costumes.
The costumes are period and the set recreates the one designed by JoMielziner for the original 1949 production, an exploded view of the Lomans' family house that also functions as the setting for other scenes.
