Akuma-shin Reviews
Stage Scene LA- Somewhat Recommended
"...Not that Akuma-Shin is a total loss, not when director Scott Leggett has Baker, Levi, Parducci, Surdyke, and Wilcox doing some of the most hilarious takes I've seen on Brothers, Capote, Mailer, and Buckley (though you probably need to be at least fifty to know why the impressions are so spot-on) and their eleventh-hour Mike Mahaffey-choreographed fight sequence soars deliciously over the top."
Stage Raw- Somewhat Recommended
"...Director Scott Leggett does his best to keep the disparate plates of Smith's concept spinning, but on opening night some of these dishes hit the tiles, with a few ill-judged performances and delayed set reveals. Joe Jordan's sets are cleverly conceived, however, and Jaime Robledo's sound design does much of the production's heavy lifting by creating a vivid sonic atmosphere."
Theatre Notes- Somewhat Recommended
"...While there is much to admire in the show, Akuma-shin seems like an extended series of Saturday Night Live skits, some of which work and some don't. It is hard to know quite what to make of it. I left the theatre bemused."
