"Director Jesca Prudencio’s jubilant in-the-round staging borrows many of the traditions of anime, a Japanese style of animation known for its eye-popping colors, spiky-haired characters, karate fights, pop-rock scoring and blazing-fast dialogue."
-The San Diego Union Tribune

"This show is a fun and modern coming-of-age tale that will appeal to and entertain, and as I heard someone say as I exited the theatre' "This is how you get young diverse people to the theatre" and I agree"
- Broadway World

"Ricocheting between joy and sadness, present and past, hope and loss, I was propelled through an hour and 40 minutes of storytelling that made me feel known, represented and heard."
-Elaine Alfaro, The Point
