Critic Reviews (11)
“‘Seeing You’ leans heavily on visual sensation. There’s no real emotional depth to be found here, no historical or dramatic heft. And for a show that dwells heavily on the Bomb and literally asks the question ‘How many civilian casualties would you be willing to accept to save 1 million American lives?’ the ending is surprisingly more of a whimper than a bang...If you have to duck into a darkened fallout shelter, it seems Hoboken’s not such a bad place to be."

"'Seeing You' tries to do many things in 90 minutes...The show is at its best when it uses dance or provocative movement to get at the deep grief of war...It also does something very interesting: unsettles us. The space is dark; the music is loud; there is smoke and strobe lights; people are often moving you around from one place to another and you don't know where you're going...Yet in terms of storytelling, the show fails. There isn't a clear narrative."

"At its best, 'Seeing You' lets us identify with the characters on our own terms, creating connections between past and present as they naturally arise. Refreshingly, it is never blindly patriotic, unlike so many stories about this war. But like so many of those stories, it is ultimately patronizing, a morality play that repeatedly confronts the audience with clichéd demonstrations of racism, homophobia, and violence, without subverting or complicating any of them."
