Quotes:

"The [Gorgons scene] is hilarious but also deeply moving thanks to Laquerre's display of their plight."
    - Brian Hay  (Norules-nolights.com)

"[Laquerre] fills the 'Méduse' with humour that leads to deeply poignant pathos"
    - Brian Hay  (Norules-nolights.com)

"Incorrigible funny man"
    - Brian Hay  (Norules-nolights.com)

"his commanding voice and playful stage presence rendering him an eminently watchable performer"
    - Catherine Kustanczy  (bachtrack.com)

    - Catherine Kustanczy  (bachtrack.com)

"as warm and velvety as before"
    - Christopher Hoile  (Stage-door.com)

"[Laquerre's Méduse] is as amusing as ever – much more a petulant drag queen than a fearsome beast."

"The gorgons scene –especially Olivier Laquerre as Méduse–was funnier than last time."
    - Leslie Barcza  (Barczablog)
