Anne Britt Gran, 24.04.1998, Morgenbladet [Oslo]:
"De Utvalgte moves freely between movies, TV, mass culture, kitsch, camp, existentialism, absurdism, naivism, new music and you name it. In content, the performance is black, sincere and harrowing. In expression, it is playful in its juggling between isms and artistic effects."
Lena Strømberg. De Utvalda nøjer sig inte med teater (literally: De Utvalgte doesn't make do with theatre), date unknown, GP:
"Crystal clear humour. In this performance theatre mixes with music and video constellations are shown on a screen measuring six x three meters."
Cathrine Th. Paulsen. Hotellnatt i helvete. Et sofistikert, elegant og velprodusert stykke (literally: Hotel night in hell. A sophisticated, elegant and well-produced play.) , date unknown, Dagsavisen [Oslo]:
"The most fascinating part of the performance is the way it works as a whole. Stage design, lightening, music and the video window continuously changing in addition to the balanced interaction between the actors create an almost all-absorbing experience."
