"...Stefan Sittig successfully captures the essence of Fosse's

sharp-angled, finger-snapping, limbs-akimbo design. [He]

admirably pays tribute to Fosse while working within the

constraints of the shallow performance floor. He has found

middle ground for the varied levels of talent in the ensemble,

particularly evident in the sexy, provocative production number

'Big Spender,' one of Fosse's signature pieces."

-Michael Toscano, The Washington Post

"...the choreography by Stefan Sittig is very exciting and well

performed."

-Seth Bisen-Hersh, NYTheatre.com

"Unapologetically entertaining..."

-Paula Durbin, The Washington Post

"The performers contribute a great deal...looking and sounding

decidedly period doing the undulating 70s dances of Stefan Sittig."

-Matthew Murray, TalkinBroadway.com

"Credit for these sequences, including one in which Aldonza, with almost balletic grace, ministers to Quixote’s and Sancho’s wounds, and another in which she is brutally assaulted by the Muleteers, also goes to choreographer and fight director Stefan Sittig."

-Leslie Weisman, DC Theatre Scene

-Brian Trompeter, Alexandria Sun Gazette

-Rich Massabny, Arlington Weekly News TV

"Stefan Sittig evinces an assurance and stylistic sense...a delight!"

-Roy Proctor, The Richmond Times Dispatch

"...a show that relies so heavily on Bob Fosse's particularly angular vision in dances, which choreographer Stefan Sittig has translated well for performance by his more limited forces."

-Brad Hathaway, Potomac Stages

"...the dance numbers are also impressive. The choreography by Stefan Sittig exploits the stage to its best advantage."

-Lorin Buck, Fairfax Times.com

"Stefan Sittig's active choreography is just as stylized and atmospheric as the scenic design, skillfully mixing angular, modern motion with traces of African dance."

-Michael Toscano, The Washington Post

"Choreographer Stefan Sittig keeps the stage alive with lots of movement. The officers do an outstanding routine-half tap dance, half parade-ground drill...that is one of the production's finest and funniest moments."

-Jennifer Howard, The Charlottesville Review

"Vigorously athletic and briskly paced...keeps the production surging forward."

-Geoffrey Himes, The Howard County Times

-Rosalind Lacy, The Rockville Gazette

"It was a long, strange trip, the 1960s, but "Beehive" takes the sting out
and leaves only the honeys. Choreographer Stefan Sittig provides especially effective moments in the Tina Turner sequence."

-Michael Toscano, The Washington Post

"Choreographer Stefan Sittig puts the couple through their paces, having them glide around the ballroom in formalwear and then ham it up as a bickering, dowdy husband-and-wife team in baby-blue sailor outfits."

-Brian Trompeter, Alexandria Sun Gazette

"Stefan Sittig beautifully moved the characters in the cocktail party settings of Venice, Hollywood and New York."

-Bob Anthony, AllArtsReview4u

"Knighton's rendition of "Very Soft Shoes" is a showstopper. Under the tutelage of choreographer Stefan Sittig, his movements, timing and voice are worthy of a professional cast. Sittig seems superb at bringing out the talent in this troupe."

-Cissy Finley Grant, Potomac Almanac
