"Lianne Arnold fills the commercial breaks with wacky, elaborate video fun." - Variety

"a bizarre, surreal, always brilliant hoot thanks to...an overall production design which, chiefly due to Lianne Arnold's ingenious video designs...creates the sensation that we're part of the studio audience during a taping of what must be the sleaziest tabloid show in television history ... Arnold's video designed screen projections, a complex, varied visual enhancement that includes a glimpse of some of the protestors this staging generated." -- OC Register

"Via the magic of...Lianne Arnold's projected video images...the spell is immediately cast." -- Backstage

"Visually, Jerry Springer: The Opera is a knockout...Lianne Arnold's imaginative projection design..." -- Stage Scene LA
