Lucille Lortel Award nomination: Outstanding Scenic Design
"Wilson Chin once again proves himself a god among men, with his scenic design here appropriately DIY-looking but with room for impressive diversions."– Juan A. Ramirez, Theatrely
"The highlight of the show is the tremendous and fabulous design team. The set, designed as a speaker wall at a concert, becomes control panels, projection screens, acting levels, walk-through rooms, opening up to small sound stages where scenes are filmed and enacted, and granting a veritable endless opportunity of variety that the show needed."– David Walters, The Front Row Center
"A feast for the senses, Space Dogs insists on a type of electric, highly intense energy that forces you to question emotion beyond your reach. The dizzying height inherent in the race to space does so much to unlock what’s trapped at the emotional core."– Marcina Zaccaria, Theater Pizzazz
"Wilson Chin’s set combines the best over-the-top elements of Mid-Century and Stalinist design."– Patricia Contino, Stage Biz
"The set design by Wilson Chin makes the most of the small space, with the actors popping out from unexpected places to great effect."– Juliet Hindell, Exeunt NYC
"The action-packed emotionally expressive musical is supported by a high-sensory set design by Wilson Chin that cleverly places us in the USSR, the US and the cosmos."– Deb Miller, DC Metro Theater Arts
"Enthusiasm is reflected not only in the two stars’ sheer energy level, but in the ceaselessly inventive stagecraft on display in Ellie Heyman’s production."– Kenji Fujishima, Theater Mania
"Wilson Chin’s scenic design blends industrial with techno to create a dazzling set that incorporates eye-popping lighting, fun projections, and amazing (and endless) puppets and props courtesy of Amanda Villalobos."– David Hurst, Talkin Broadway
