Reviews & Fringefeed Reacts

  •          

    Loizou is also a poet.His singing self-accompanied on the guitar is just as impassioned and endearing. He has passion, pathos and humor. - Anna Vlach, The Advertiser

  •          

    Odysseus’ (Loizou’s) song reminds us all that it is better to have loved and lost the loved one, than never to have loved at all. - Jan Kershaw, Glam Adelaide

  • Odysseus sings to them; and in this show it is the first of Loucas Loizou’s beautiful and melodic songs, “Count Your Blessings”. - Tony Knight, Stage Whispers
