REVIEWS

  • "To that end, Cheryl does an especially good job of switching up her character, losing the shyness to showcase a flurry of emotions born from grief and loss, lashing out and confused when her safety and comfort is under threat."

    Bakchormeeboy on Phinny and Wally (Nine Years Theatre)

  • "Cheryl Ho is a bloody good performer. The kind of performer who makes you realise the level of precision, concentrated energy, projection of space, virtuosic manipulation of voice, body and dynamic, immaculate timing, and immensely hard work that are possible to see on stage. I'd watch this performer do almost anything, but this is a great thing to watch her do. "

    Melbourne Fringe Theatre Judge on I Am Seaweed 2023

  • "A joyous work featuring a stunning, off-the-charts-charming performance from Cheryl Ho. Bold, energised, achingly-human and super sharp. The writing is hilarious, insightful and moving and the quality and use of AV and sound are also excellent. Loved it!"

    Melbourne Fringe Judge on I Am Seaweed 2023

  • "Writer and performer Cheryl Ho can vacillate wildly between chirpy and frantic, between smiling and scared... Cheryl/Sheryl gets the audience on side from minute one and doesn’t let go for an hour"

    Keith Gow (Theatre First) on I Am Seaweed 2023

  • Ho has a huge commanding presence on stage and even within this large space, she fills it with her energy, confidence and skill. Her ability to switch from anger and frustration to joy and happiness to sadness and anxiety as she grapples with holding on to, and relinquishing control, is fascinating to watch as a character study of Sheryl but also as an example of an actor who has a deep comprehension of the material.

    My Melbourne Arts on I Am Seaweed 2023

  • “Cheryl Ho almost steals the stage in surely one of the best comic creations of the millennial age as Sunny Lee, the self-pronounced office 'genius' who has a way with words when it comes to describing the action and putting everyone else in their place.”

    Beth Keehn, Stage Whispers on White Pearl 2021

  • “Amid a stellar cast, she steals every scene with her hip-hop swagger and unfiltered Singlish sass, inhabiting her comedy not just with nuanced delivery and tension-breaking timing, but subtle physicality.”

    Blue Curtains Brisbane on White Pearl 2021

  • “Cheryl Ho had us in stitches as the loveable Sunny Lee. Everyone wants a best friend like Sunny. Her comedic timing was perfect and her loyalty and warmth shone through her cool girl exterior.”

    Michelle Beesley She Society on White Pearl 2021

  • "One of the best pieces of theatre to be made for a virtual audience and hopefully get to see it live soon."

    MyMelbourneArts on 落叶归根 (Luò yè guī gēn) Getting Home, Winner of Melbourne Fringe 2020 (Best in Theatre Best Emerging Writer, Best Emerging Producer, New Zealand Tour Ready) award. Green Room Awards 2021 (Best Performer and Best Production (Independent Theatre)

  • "Much potential in this original performance about homesickness, identity and art."

    BAKCHORMEEBOY on 落叶归根 (Luò yè guī gēn) Getting Home, Winner of Melbourne Fringe 2020 (Best in Theatre, Best Emerging Writer, Best Emerging Producer, New Zealand Tour Ready award) Green Room Awards 2021 (Best Performer and Best Production (Independent Theatre)

  • "It’s a heartfelt piece, to say the least, it’s bursting at the seams with both comedy and tragedy."

    Flo Cornall on 落叶归根 (Luò yè guī gēn) Getting Home Brighton Fringe 2022, Best Digital Event Award winner

  • “High-wattage performances from the cast energise this glamorous and inventive experimental work ...”

    Cameron Woodhead, the Sydney Morning Herald on POONA, Nominated for Green Room Best Ensemble 2022

  • “Quite honestly, there wasn’t a moment when an actor was not at their best, taking an incredible script and turning these complex characters into real people, right there with us, struggling through what it means to be represented and heard.”

    Thomas Gregory, Theatre Travels on POONA, Nominated for Green Room Best Ensemble 2022
