"...Funny, outrageous, and surprisingly thought-provoking beneath all its biting sarcasm, Mike Lew's reverberating satire TIGER STYLE!---now on stage at OC's South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa through June 12, 2022---shines a riotous light on the merits of demanding hard work and high-caliber achievements from second- and third-generation children of Asian immigrants, and whether or not such a strict, method of upbringing results in happy, well-rounded, and contented adults later in life. Surprisingly enough, the answers to that query may still be up in the air."

"...Tiger Style! at South Coast Rep is refreshing for many reasons. First, it's really funny. Playwright Mike Lew crafts his script like a super-smart teenager, mixing insights about the Asian community with cutting humor, f-bombs, "dude," "bro" and some other words one would only find on Urban Dictionary. It's a style that reminded me of Lew's contemporary Qui Nguyen, whose Vietgone premiered at SCR in 2015, the same year that Lew's Tiger Style! was first staged in Atlanta. Second, it addresses race in America - via two grown-up siblings - as it pertains to the characters' experience with their traditional upbringing and current frustrations as modern Chinese Americans."
