“Amar Dhaliwal as the Mad Hatter danced with intensity ...” - Review Vancouver, 2011
"Amar Dhaliwal delivered a commanding performance as Zidler — the sleazy, owner of the [Moulin Rouge]. The rehearsal scene he leads in the dark, seedy after-hours when Nathalie is first introduced to the territorial Diamond Dog dancers is authoritative and powerful."
- Edmonton Journal, 2010
“There's too much impressive ensemble work to mention, but kudos to the delicate bridesmaids and to Amar Dhaliwal and Zhen Guo Chen for their athletic antics during the street celebration.”
- Winnipeg Free Press, 2009
