“Leaky Heaven Circus’s Salome is so cathartically creative, it made me want to take my clothes off.”
Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight

“The principals give uniformly superlative performances and Steven Hill’s direction is brilliantly inventive.    Salome’s dance…is an ode to the greats of burlesque and is a highlight of the show, a moment when the tittering dies down completely in favour of slack-jawed awe.”
Steven Schelling, The WestEnder

“Overall, Leaky Heaven went too far with Salome.”
Jo Ledingham, The Vancouver Courier
