Quotes:

"An extravagantly inventive new musical, 'Journey to the West' is told with hipster modernity"
                     - J. Demaline, Cincinnati Enquirer


"What a majestic score! No other adjective will do. Richard Oberacker's music is far-encompassing, and achieves a marvelous synthesis of eastern and western sounds."
                           - Peter Filichia, Theatermania.com
