  • This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Ainsley is so on the leading edge of the music, the part at 1:12 is just incredible. It's amazing to see someone with such mastery over such difficult music, and going all-out with the acting too. Bravo, sir. The people that saw this show will continue to buy tickets and support this art based on your performance.

  • Words truly fail me to describe how good this is. It's like I've waited my whole life to see the music when Tarquinias crosses staged with watery lighting effects like this. Who ever directed this is a TOTAL GENIUS.
