Rave Reviews for Tiergarten!
Our sold-out run of Tiergarten, MC'd by Kim David Smith and directed by DoC Founder Andrew Ousley (his directorial debut!), opened to rave reviews - read on for more!
"Andrew Ousley’s immersive cabaret show is a wild time"
– ALL ARTS
"Ousley’s combinations of Weimarkeit, classical music, modern dance, and contemporary song... got at the heart and soul of the Weimar. I very much hope he continues to present cabarets and to expand and diversify this repertoire with more political content, dancing, and audience participation."
- PARTERRE BOX
"We think of Death of Classical as Rebirth of Classical. Rebirths always assume new forms. Tiergarten contained multitudes. That is, there was entertainment for just about everyone... If Mr. Ousley intended for us to enjoy the entertainment, and then to go home and think about the message, he certainly succeeded!"
- VOCE DI MECHE
"This night marked DoC founder Andrew Ousley’s directorial debut with the company. Ousley curates a number of delightfully strange events, mostly in Manhattan at the Church of the Intercession and Brooklyn at Green-Wood Cemetery. This night was no exception."
- BROADWAY WORLD
"It set an ominous tone for a night that would shepherd us through a dark and pivotal time, riddled with the anxieties of our own uncertain age... the show felt like gazing into a funhouse mirror — one that both distorts and magnifies the grotesqueries of human nature."
- 360 OF OPERA
"...if nothing else the evening showed there is no shortage of performing talent of all types available for every kind of venue in our city."
-BROADWAY WORLD
"...hot impresario Andrew Ousley gathered together a group of top-notch performers and a talented design crew to create an ageless event. When the doors close, a mad spirit is unleashed in Willkommen."
