“The Song Poet has been given a beautiful physical production, with set designer Mina Kinukawa's stylized mountain construction standing before a sky painted as if in perennial sunrise creating the Hmong homeland. Simple portable elements are moved in and out to suggest Minnesota settings, but the homeland always looms over the characters.”
Dorman, Arthur. Talkin’ Broadway.
