“There is poetry here, but it’s the moments of heightened theatricality that create a vivid spectacle — as when characters drop down from the sky on bungee chords, battle with pole and saber, or square off atop rolling bamboo staircases.” - Seattle Times

“Go see this show! Hire the babysitter, arrive early (to catch the awesome Indian bazaar in the lobby), and prepare yourself for one of the most glorious and magical evenings I've had in the theater for quite awhile as ACT Theatre presents an exquisite and epic tale that mesmerizes from beginning to end.

And I must mention the astonishing backstage designers whose praises I cannot sing enough. Matthew Smucker has created a simplistic yet gorgeous world for the performers that completely transports you to another land. And his set is only accentuated with the outstandingly stunning costumes from Melanie Burgess. And accentuating the characters more were some wonderful puppet characters created by Greg Carter. Lighting and sound designers Mary Louise Geiger and Brendan Patrick Hogan only serve to heighten this glorious world with their work.” - Broadway World
