“An endearing and ridiculous examination of the psyches of the most beloved video game characters of all time” (Fiona Zublin, The Washington Post).
"A delightfully bouncy parody... Claudio Quest is smart pop-culture fun" (Laura Collins-Hughes, The New York Times)
"A winning musical that leaves us thinking as much as we're laughing" (David Gordon, Theatermania)
“Bright as a pack of Skittles, loopy as a Looney Tunes cartoon, and jam-packed with sibling rivalry, metaphysical angst and a tragically misunderstood, fire-breathing, homicidal purple platypus” (Gary McMillan, DC Theatre Scene)
“This is some serious-ass 8-bit dramaturgy, up in here; The result is clever and ironic, yes, but it's not merely clever and ironic — it's a fully imagined, well-realized piece of work about love, death and stomping on fungi.” (Glen Weldon, Washington City Paper).
“There are laughs at every turn…irreverent humor and delightful staging” (Sriram Gopal, The DCist).
“It’s really good, even if you didn't grow up with a controller in your hand.” (Justin McElroy, Joystiq Magazine).
