Enough cannot be said to underscore the understated beauty of this production (directed by Dave Tinney), from the message and feeling of the book and songs that seep into your soul, to the refreshing, heartfelt performances, to the absolutely marvelous design work...

...The lighting, designed by Brian Healy, is equally as spectacular, as it creates an atmosphere that is both visually dazzling and emotionally affecting throughout the show.

~BWW Review (Salt Lake)

The scenes created by the design team — including scenic designer Kacey Udy, properties designer Michelle Jensen and lighting and production designer Brian Healy — are a feast for the eyes...

...The subtle lighting often evokes the feeling of being in the woods, but where it really shines (pun intended) is in a fishing scene with Angus, the Tuck family's father, and Winnie. The lighting ripples like water across the stage and illuminates a sunset of soft orange, pink and purple in the background. The result is a scene that is exquisite in its softness and simplicity.

Hale Centre Theatre (West Valley, UT) 2017

Director: Jennifer Parker Hohl

Scenic Design: Kacey Udy

Lighting Design: Brian Healy

Costume Design: Joy Zhu

This production transcends the material to achieve a result even a non-fan can admit to admiring...

...The candy-colored visuals, including a number of brilliant surprises, are a true delight from start to finish. The contributions of production and set designer Kacey Udy, properties designer Michelle Jensen, costume designer Joy Zhu, and hair and makeup designer Krissa Lent cannot be overstated. Especially delightful is the lighting design from Brian Healy, which features substantially more shades than even the average rainbow. ~Broadway World.com, BWW Review, Salt Lake

I entered Hale Centre Theatre tonight expecting to see a similar Joseph to the one I saw there in 2011.  However, for possibly the first time, I saw a production that truly brought Technicolor to the coat...

...Lighting design by Brian Healy was so involved that it became the show’s second narrator. Advances in lighting technology combined with Hale’s ability to spare no expense meant both the overhead stage lighting and the series of LED lights in the prominent raised pyramid at center stage displayed the all the colors in Joseph’s coat.  A set of reserve lights descended from the rafters to great the bars of Joseph’s prison cell. Beautiful Edison lights lowered to set the scene for a generator bit skillfully woven into “Canaan Days.” And the many moving lights in the “Megamix” made me feel as though I’d left the world of theatre entirely and found myself for a few moments at a rock concert. ~Utah Theatre Bloggers Association (UTBA)

(Director) Hohl praises Joy Zhu's Persian-influenced costumes, with rich colors, beadwork and harem pants. In addition, the theater has purchased new technology to support Brian Healy's super-saturated lighting design. "I guarantee you've never seen lighting like this anywhere in the state or surrounding states. Maybe in Las Vegas," the director said, adding: "I've had to wear sunglasses in some of the rehearsals because it's so bright.” ~Salt Lake Tribune

It’s a beautiful production with updates that speak to those who appreciate fleshed out characters, empowered women, men who know vulnerability is a strength, and everyone who understands that all members of the community deserve respect.

The lighting by Brian Healy and Michael Gray is truly magical…

~BWW Review (Salt Lake)

The pumpkin carriage that floated through the air was a masterpiece of golden latticework bedecked by twinkling lights and flowers. Cinderella’s frothy white ball gown was every bit worthy of a fairy tale, and her dazzling, spinning wardrobe transformations (there’s more than one) were a flicker-fast magic trick that evoked oohs and aahs.

~Deseret News

Light design by Brian Healy and Michael Gray added sparkle to the magic…

Hale Centre Theatre (West Valley, UT) 2014

Director: David Tinney

Scenic Design: Kacey Udy

Lighting Design: Brian Healy

Costume Design: Peggy Willis and Suzanne Carling

Intimacy is something the Hale does very well, and David Tinney's inspired direction and Kelly DeHaan's clear and concise musical direction unerringly capitalize on that. Tinney positions characters center stage, and Brian Healy bathes them in liquid light for their soul-sharing moments: Fantine's "I Dreamed a Dream," Valjean's "Who Am I?" and Eponine's "On My Own." ~Salt Lake Tribune

The set, by resident designer Kacey Udy, is a serviceable concoction of stone, wood, and metal grates that provides intermittent thrilling moments (especially when paired with fantastic lighting effects designed by Brian Healy). ~BroadwayWorld.com (BWW reviews)

It’s fitting that a show known for its beautiful score and message should also offer audiences visual beauty. Brian Healy‘s lighting design was the most outstanding technical element in the show, especially in the barricade attacks. ~Utah Theatre Bloggers Association (UTBA)

Costume Design: Tamara Clayton

Moreover, Ragtime benefited from an expert team of designers, led by technical director Kacey Udy. Foremost among them, though, was the lighting designer, Brian Healy. Healy created enticing lighting designs for “Gliding,” “Buffalo Nickel Photoplay, Inc.,” a memorable rainstorm, and an explosion. His lighting also accentuated the pleasant period costumes (designed by Tamara Clayton), especially Mother’s green dress in the second act. Udy designed the sets, which are by definition minimalist, given the constraints of the Hale’s theatre in the round space. ~UTBA

“Ragtime” is exhilarating. ~Deseret News

Costume Design: kClare Kemock

Sound Design: Stephen Gawrit

Brian Healy’s exceptional lighting creates the layered leafy veneer of interlacing shadows that threaten the frail façade of these suburban houses. Similarly the sound design by Stephen Gawrit is just exquisite; youthful, naïve, and eerie all at once.                                           ~performink chicago

...Devon de Mayo and company have mounted a damned near flawless production. Dialogue and movement are energized and purposeful from the play’s opening moment to its crystallizing final image. Scenic designer Grant Sabin’s narrow set folds us into Ilana’s boxed-in world, while Brian Healy’s pastel lighting patterns playing upon translucent overhead screens capture the delicacy and charm of the folder’s craft. ~NEW CITY STAGE

Lighting Design: Brian Healy

Costume Design: Carisa Bush

Sound Design: Dan Dennis

Though Book It-Repertory Theatre has often adapted classic and more familiar literary works than Jonathan Rabin's Seattle-centric 2003 social satire Waxwings, they could hardly do better than this rousingly successful production, directed with brio by Mary Machala, and adapted with judicious skill by Julie Beckman. Skewing the dot.com era, it may be a show that has its ideal audience here in Seattle, but is so well crafted that it would probably score big anywhere.

Scenic designer Jeffrey Cook creates a handsome microcosm of contemporary Seattle locales, with subtly effective lighting by Brian Healy, and complimentary and period perfect costumes by Carisa Bush.  ~Talkin’ Broadway Regional Reviews: Seattle

There's no doubt about it, "Guys and Dolls" is Midland Music Society's best musical theater production to date.

Adding his own touch was lighting designer Brian Healy. Healy also makes the stage visually appealing. His lighting design generally works well and is another plus in this wonderful production. ~Midland Daily News (Midland, Michigan)
