"...Synetic Theatre's wordless reimagining of the classic tale of a girl awakened by a kiss is a quite astonishing piece of art that provides, pardon the circus phrase, something for everyone. In this version, the elements of sight, sound, movement and multiple lighting special effects provide a deeper emotional experience than would ever be thought. And it works for both adults and children. During the matinee there were ample youngsters present, yet except for the nicely timed comic exploits of one of the Faeries (Kathy Gordon) there were few guffaws, only rapt attention."

"...Hail to the Princess, Briar Rose, a fair and winsome maiden who is sure to win the heart of the Prince if only the malevolent witch will stay out of her way. An iconic and beloved fairytale takes fanciful flight on the stage of Synetic Theater this holiday season, offering an awe-inspiring alternative for family friendly entertainment when it comes to this festive holiday season. Sleeping Beauty, adapted by Nathan Weinberger from Charles Perrault's classic fairytale and Directed by Paata Tsikurishvili, will awaken everyone's sense of thrilling adventure and whimsical enchantment. Visually stunning and remarkably expressive of pathos and story origin, this fluid production of movement tells the tale like no other can, using the perpetual and dynamic motion of the human body and the free-flowing expressions of human emotions, resulting in a dynamic synthesis of interpretive, performative dance and a fairytale classic."

"...Director Paata Tsikurishvili and adapter Nathan Weinberger do introduce changes to the popular variant of the story, aligning it more with Wicked and the 2014 film Maleficent, but it's not enough to elevate the tedium. Then again, kids might really dig it. At times, the unfolding action reminded me of video games I used to play."
