It looks as if brand new show Soft Power and its 'riotous' songs were a hit when it opened at the weekend. An East meets West tale with a twist, Soft Power comes from a Tony Winning team and includes original song and dance numbers, comedy, romance and Hilary Clinton.

Mercury News: ""With a tantalizing tip-of-your-tongue tang of familiarity, the songs seem as if they must have been as much of a blast to create as they are to behold.""

San Fransico Examiner: ""East meets West hilariously in 'Soft Power'... a fun, smart concoction — a musical within a play — satirically touches on timely and timeless political and cultural points. It’s a treat from start to finish.

San Francisco Chronicle: "" ""Soft Power"" is infinitely more textured and grand and potent for the fullness of sound that only a slew of strings and winds and brass can create. ""
