"[Spiro] Veloudos and choreographer Micheline Wu have done an elegant if also tongue-in-cheek job of mixing Asian and showbiz styles, just as the music does. Wu, who is trained in Chinese dance, also plays Tamate, Kayama’s tradition-bound, kimono-clad wife, imbuing the unfortunate character with intensity and grace, the latter exemplified by her fluid dance with a fluttering fan." - Carolyn Clay, WBUR (read full review here)
"Choreographer Micheline Wu deserves much credit for the fine work she has done." - Bobby Franklin, Boxing Over Broadway (read full review here)
“The staging and choreography of this work, which can be rendered chaotic under the wrong circumstances, is beautifully done. [A] whole universe of encounters explodes, made highly effective by intelligent blocking of character movements overseen by director Spiro Veloudos, but, even more dramatically, by the expressive and energetically conceived choreography by Micheline Wu.“ - Charles Munitz, Boston Arts Diary (read full review here)
