I wonder, though - unless you're gonna impose a bold, overarching new "concept design" (for want of a better term) like Nicholas Hytner and Bob Crowley did for Carousel - how different are the designs for a classic book musical like that gonna be? And with She Loves Me mostly taking place inside and outside a fairly naturalistic shop, and the pace of the show demanding a set able to rapidly transition between the interior and the exterior... I don't necessarily see it as Ellis "recycling" so much as just doing what made the most sense (but maybe I'm only saying that cause the word "recycling" carries a negative connotation in my head when it comes to art).
