“WITTY… INVENTIVE… LOVELY COSTUMES!” -NY TIMES

“Sara Jean Tosetti’s silly, glitzy costumes (17th-century glam by way of your grandmother’s cast-offs) capture the piece’s spirit: the vicarious fun of watching adults play dress-up.” TONY

“Sara Jean Tosetti’s spectacular costumes, which manage to be both historical and contemporary, with a showy masquerade-ball sensibility.
Some of her designs are ridiculously, hilariously outrageous, especially her costume for Jupiter, when he takes the form of a fly. Besides green wings and giant orange eyes, it includes netted tights and a prominent codpiece.” -Denver Post

“What a runway event for costume designer Sara Jean Tosetti. She displayed not only a superb knowledge of early eighteenth-century operatic “fashion” in the use of trains and rich brocaded fabrics but forged each “character” creatively in color, style, and fabric’s movement. This allowed the central figure of Cato, in creamy white toga, to stand in contrast, and indicated both his characters unblemished “purity” and his obdurate, prideful restraint.” -DCTheatreScene

“Sara Jean Tosetti created a detailed, colorful Prince-Valiant-meets-Buck-Rogers aesthetic”
-Opera News

“LUSH Costumes…” -Opera News

“Sara Jean Tosetti’s outrageous but accurate ‘70s “costumes speak volumes.”-Boston Globe

“[Hildy] is the heart and soul of the show, physically fearless thanks to a brilliant costume by Sara Jean Tosetti that allows her to jump, crawl and climb easily, safely, and modestly while always looking like a perfectly dressed professional woman circa 1939.”-BerkshireOnStage

“Watching Mr. Edwards’s nature-savvy, animal-skin-clad Caliban (the inventive costumes are by Sara Jean Tosetti), it’s hard not to think of the American Indians displaced by European settlers.” -NY Times

“Sara Jean Tosetti has provided a truly sumptuous costume design, her lavish attire not only delighting the eye, but also tellingly defining the characters.” -OperaCanada
