Hey we are tourists in town this month. We haven't been to any Broadway shows since pre-COVID. I was wondering out of all the newer shows, which one do you think has the most impressive set/stage? I've read that HLL is pretty unique in set design and BTTF has amazing special effects but wondering if others should be in my radar.

I haven't seen HLL or BTTF but have read the same things. I think the set for Some Like It Hot is underrated and very strong. I think it should have won over NYNY at the Tonys. Sweeney Todd is a big production design too though the set itself is somewhat simplistic.
And if you didn't see it pre-covid and are looking for glitz and glamour, Moulin Rouge should be on the list.

We've seen all of them and I agree that Moulin Rouge has the most scenic eye candy, along with the two already on your radar.

Moulin Rouge has the most spectacular set design I have seen.
