In regards to his performance in "Theremin" Frank Scheck in his review for The New York Post on August 22, 2007 said:
"The production's best element is the offstage thereminist (John Hoge), who provides the musical accompaniment. The sight of him producing the ethereal sounds simply by waving his hands in the air is visually transfixing."
