“Music: 10/10”
-- Johan Chang, The Speakeasy
“the extremely current soundtrack featuring a number of Asian artists helped boost each scene’s impact”
-- Chris Wong, Craccum
“At several key moments in the play, the loud hip hop base-beats give way to a series of more subdued scenes accompanied by the echoing and reverberating soft sounds of gongs and chimes...”
-- Rand T. Hazou, Theatre Scenes
“From its neon-lit set to the blaring contemporary soundtrack, Orientation's confident, brash exterior hides a nerdy insecurity: Who are we? What makes us real? Can we ever be complete if we don't know who to love?”
-- Renee Liang, NZ Herald
