The first reviews are in, and The Underground is a hit:
“★★★★”
…
“Drama, poetry, live music, song, dance and acrobatics interweave into a raw, cynical, energetic, but above all humorous performance.”
– Leeuwarder Courant
“a compelling insight into the brooding brain of a social loser”
…
“a stirring song…all elements of the multidisciplinary ensemble come together as seamlessly as a collective cry against imposed collectivity”
– NRC
“Will expresses his frustrations in smoking rock songs by Brendan Faegre. In particular, the [first song] has hit potential.”
…
