"A delicious spectacle...expansive,catchy,and cunning. An outwardly flashy, deceptively shrewd investigation-cum-celebration of the peppy, glamorous, multi-billion-dollar musical genre. A group of Asian performers leaves it all on the floor in hopes of winning American acceptance and approval. This is the phenomenon that KPOP is skewering and, ultimately, turning triumphantly on its head." - Sara Holdren, New York (Vulture)
"Tiny bubbles of pleasure keep floating up and bursting all around us. Pop! Pop! Pop! We're sold. I defy you not to enjoy KPOP!" - Adam Feldman, Time Out New York
"Undoubtedly the most ambitious off-broadway musical of the year!" - Zachary Stewart, theatermania.com
"Gabriel Hainer Evansohn’s sets are marvels of manicured kitsch." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times
"The production/scenic design, by Gabriel Hainer Evansohn, is a marvel of layout and planning, not to mention crowd control..." - David Barbour, Lighting and Sound America
