Praise for Three Sisters:

“The actors bring added dimension to the characters. Wu’s deadpan humor contrasts well with Blum’s wide-eyed earnesty, though Wu proves herself a formidable dramatic performer through her illicit relationship with Vershinin (Desislava Kremenlieva, GS ’26). Because Vershinin is reimagined as a woman, Masha’s love story takes on a new dimension, forcing them both to contend with an added element of homophobia.” - Sarah Shapiro, The Spectator

“Mimi Wu (CC ’26), playing Masha, moved with a kind of dignity and severity that was at once imposing and hilarious.” - Annie Lind, BWOG

Praise for Dance Nation:

Mimi Wu, CC ’26, gives a jaw-dropping monologue as the character Ashlee that begins with a confident assessment of her own physical appearance and escalates to the point of her screaming “You are all my motherfucking bitch” to an audience shocked into submissive attention. As Ashlee’s lust for power mounts throughout the monologue, the lighting turns a creepy shade of yellow, Ashlee’s own shadow rising up behind her. The speech encapsulates a general feeling among the dancers: Whatever their life consists of now, it isn’t enough. They are hungry for something both inside themselves and out in the world that they can’t quite access yet.” - Ana Carpenter, The Spectator

“Some standout performances to note are…Sofia DeSanto (BC ‘24) as Sofia and Mimi Wu (CC ‘26) as Ashlee, arguably the most “inappropriately-minded” characters in the show who speak openly about masturbation and their growing sexualities, and give well-intentioned (though very misguided) advice to the other girls on such topics. They have some of the most comedic moments in the show as a duo—my personal favorite being their hexxing of a black coffee to make it “magical.” All the characters in the show were extremely realistic versions of 13-year-olds, showing those who are growing up at a faster pace as well as those who are perhaps not doing so.” - Rory Collins, BWOG

Praise for Humble Boy:

“This moment, which isn’t built up to by the text, is undercut by Flora—played by the effortlessly haughty Mimi Wu, CC ’25—sauntering onstage, Walkman attached to her hip, with big band music drowning out any telltale buzzing. She twirls around, cleaning up the previous scene by moving glasses and bottles, seemingly in complete obliviousness to her son.” - Catherine Sawoski, The Spectator
