"Miracle Theatre's production of Oedipus el Rey is an intensely passionate dance with fate, with the entire ensemble directed by Elizabeth Huffman maintaining a driving rhythm of speech and movement leading to the inevitable conclusion. It is poetry, dance, beauty and violence all set in the mean streets or cell blocks of L.A. while retelling the ancient Greek story with a force that speaks to us today. Magnificent! Olga Sanchez Saltveit is really hot as Jocasta. Don't miss this!" - Ronni Lacroute
"Outstanding production all around! Olga was everything Jocasta should be and more! The entire cast was very strong and the staging so beautiful and intense! - Lisa Ann Mitchell

"Saw Oedipus el Rey at Milagro Theatre and loved it! This is an exciting modern, Chicano adaptation by Luis Alfaro of Oedipus the King. The acting was superb with a great set, music and lighting. This story which includes prison scenes, streets fights has also a bittersweet love story." - Eleanor Flores
"It's great to see so many young folks out to see live theatre at Milagro! Young folks, get to shows!" - Kylie Clarke Johnson
"Haven't seen a play this great in years. Extremely well done. This was also my first time at the Milagro Theatre and I wave quite impressed. Great art in the lobby, shockingly low prices at the snack stand, and you can take your hot drink into the theatre with you!" - from a five-star rating posted by Erin on Goldstar about her visit to see OEDIPUS EL REY last weekend ....
