MD Theatre Guide - Highly Recommended

"... Skillfully choreographed by Director/Choreographer Devanand Janki, nearly the entire play is danced, and the action on stage is continual. With feather-light ballet movements, Andreu Honeycutt (Ikarus), a breathtakingly skilled dancer, conveys flight. Other types of dance (hip-hop, Latin, jazz, etc) and mime are used well by all the actors throughout. Felicia Curry is typically compelling, as the bullying classmate Shorty, and Lynette Rathnam does a wonderful job as awkward, nerdy, and earnest Cris."

The Wings of Ikarus Jackson is dance-theater at its finest, a human story delivered through words, music, and, especially, movement.When the show began and the electronic score by MacKenzie Lewis kicked in, it was as if a whole urban street scene came to life.
