Bigsmorgasbordwunderwerk
The Off-Broadway hit that jumped to Broadway, this show fuses the ridiculous spectacle of Wagnerian Opera with the excitement of a live band and contemporary circus.
An Alice in Wonderland tour of a demented restaurant, this show has toured all over the United States and to Asia and Europe.

Ben Brantley, The New York Times

Time Out New York
Squonk inhabits its own reality warp, a place where squares and hipsters alike can seek refuge. To interpret or analyze this multimedia frolic would be like deconstructing a fun-house ride at a country fair…. when this critic looked at his notes the day after seeing Squonk he found a scrawled sentence he couldn’t remember writing: ‘I can’t believe I’m such a sucker for this!””
Ben Brantley, The New York Times
"Even if you like your musicals a little weird, you still won't be prepared for the insane majesty of Squonk Opera"
Scotland Metro
"It was absurd, it was surreal, it was absolutely fantastic... It will scare you, give you goosebumps and leave you with that stunned, “wow did I really just see that?” expression."
Scotland’s Three Weeks
“dit multimediafeest: een bizaar mix van musiek, magic, poppen en projectiles”
Antwerpen Zone
“Absurdly inspired!”
Village Voice
“A breathless journey through an ever-changing emotional landscape, from horror to humor to ravishing beauty. There may be cheaper ways to blow your mind, but almost all of them are bad for you!”
Fintan O’Toole, NY Daily News
