"I cannot emphasize how fun this piece was to watch. The humor made it really accessible to the audience, which was an extraordinary way of building community amongst the audience and a relationship between them and the performers. GLHF progressed as the dancers battled one another and featured their awesome and hilarious superpowers. The dancers had a strong sense of individuality and a strong connection to their alter egos." -- Corrina Roche, LA Dance Chronicle
