Reviews

“[Peng-Fei Jiang’s] Tybalt was absolutely terrifying, even majestic in his fury. What a commanding, charismatic figure he portrays on the stage. A definite principal dancer in the making.”

Ludwig Van Toronto

Romeo and Juliet
“standout featured performances as Peng-Fei Jiang’s shamelessly seductive Caterpillar.”

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
“Peng-Fei Jiang… has the supple body to perform all the sexy moves in the eastern motif that this role requires, and he riveted the eye.”
