“STAGE RAW TOP 10, RECOMMENDED”
“All these elements come together seemingly effortlessly under Michael Matthews’s expert direction. The result is a thrilling post-modern rock musical that is as edgy as it is beautiful.”
-STAGE RAW
“Breathtaking pictures emerge as the integration of choreography, movement, dance and staging by director Michael Matthews and choreographer Janet Roston seamlessly pull all the visual elements together: Psyche poised on top of the cliff ready to dive into the unknown; a storm with just enough strobe effect to create drama but not chaos; black aerial silks dropped from above for two men to sky dance in Hades; Psyche and Eros draped atop a revolving static trapeze….over and over Matthews builds the stage pictures to create a thing of beauty. There is no careless movement here.”
-BROADWAY WORLD
“Michael Matthews directs the large cast with precision. The staging is excellent and fits somewhere between a rock video and a live video game, highly stylized and very entertaining.”
