From Chris Jones's review "No troupe in America is more qualified than the Lookingglass Theatre Company to create a show about Icarus, the mythological kid who flew too close to the sun. For at Lookingglass, they really know how to make someone fly. In David Catlin’s new “Icarus,” the sequence in which the overreaching young adventurer with hopeful wings and fickle wax soars and falls to Earth is nothing short of stunning. Thanks to the fusion of choreography and circus skills, you feel as if you really see Icarus (Lindsey Noel Whiting) take wing. And when he crumples and melts above your head, you feel the sudden jolt of pain his loving father Daedalus (Lawrence E. DiStasi) must feel in that moment."
