“The reviews have been pouring in–not just from critics but from everyday people. Many are thrilled to call Mihaela and Gabriela friends. Why is that? Because everyone at their show is part of the experience. And the experience doesn’t end when the curtain closes.”
— Alan Mandel, Professor of Communication @ Borough of Manhattan Community College, Sept 14, 2017: “Dear Gabriela and Mihaela, Just one word sums up the evening’s experience for me at the theater: OUTSTANDING. The combination of cinema, vocals, music, dance, even ad-libs added to a remarkable event in every respect. And so unique and adventurous! I looked around the audience during the performance and, if you could not see, everyone was with you. Clapping and cheering. They all appreciated your efforts. You really had your mojo working for you. Very impressive. I will tell all my friends to see it. Well done and have many more weeks of thrills! PS I wanted to add that seeing the novel come to life with exhilarating. “Wicked Clone the cinema musical” is appropriate for all ages and families will be there.”
Alan Mandel, Oct 15, 2017: “I have to say thank you so much for tonight’s performance. It exceeded my highest expectations even more than opening night. Just terrific. Every move and sound was meticulously crafted; it shows how much of your heart and soul you pour into this work. My friend Billy and I talked about it through our dinner at Virgil’s after the show. He was so impressed and the adrenaline is still pumping. Very exciting and natural. The effects were perfect and it was even more enjoyable with the audience signing along spontaneously. This will soon be the most talked about show I’m sure. Keep up the fantastic work. I know you are modest but I want you to know just
how much the audience really appreciates your efforts in entertaining and enlightening the spirit.”

“The author of the musical theater piece call Wicked Clone, capitalizes on the theme of a hero’s weakness and the struggle to overcome ones fate. This theme is to be found in Homer’s Iliad, where Achilles must either die or survive the vulnerable weakness in his heal, also the same theme found throughout Shakespeare dramas and tragedies in which the heroines and heroes fight to survive their tragic past circumstances. It is a thematic writing mechanism that in modern times can be found to induce the reader to be sympathetic to the plight of a superhero with a fatal flaw or a defect in character, i.e. Conan Doyle writing that Sherlock Holmes has a morphine addiction, thereby making him more human than super intellectual, and even in Ian Fleming’s Bond character, who was orphaned by the time he was 12, and develops a fixation to be accepted by his country and queen, (a mother substitute) through the acts of a cold and patriotic murder of that country’s enemies. In short the idea of a hero’s weakness is what makes writers great. Captain Ahab’s quixotic psychotic quest to kill the white whale, Mister Kurtz’s determined violent acts to become rich by whatever means in the heart of darkness, in order to marry the woman who rejected him. AND this is what the central theme of Wicked Clone is all about. Overcoming the stigma and weakness of evil, of being a vampire whose only desire is to kill and destroy and subjugate all human mortals to the power of evil and its immortality. It is a relevant and empowering conclusion to the play when both heroine Vampires realize that creating life and beauty is what really gives one immortality, not evil manipulation. A powerful and beautiful epiphany that is felt by the audience like a fencer’s epee right to the heart, but with the realization of love, not aggression. Excellent performance!”

“Mihaela & Gabriela, Your cinema musical Wicked Clone is by far the best
show in town. Love so much your novel and adore your show. You are the most complex and fascinating double art phenomenon in the history of theatre. Your talent surpasses any imagination. Your strong subject – the strongest in the current literature – creates thrills of revelation. Your timeless music makes happy any creature. I’ve lived great moments of truth, high emotions and happiness that only Art can give us. Your fascinating story is a life model for all of us:
Don’t let the wicked clone Play your greatest role! Be a creator, be like God, Watch The Throne!”

“I was SO PROUD tonight. There I was, at St. Luke’s Theater, holding a flyer for Wicked Clone. Tears of joy and sisterly pride were in my eyes, as I said to myself, “They did it! They did it!” I have never been more proud of my good friends, Mihaela and Gabriela. I’ve seen their talent all along, and KNEW they’d make it in a famous venue like this someday; and today was that day. The Cinema Musical of Wicked Clone definitely did the book justice! I felt like I was really there, in medieval Transylvania, and then in Times Square; just as the cinema novel transported me to those places. And, like the novel, the emotions, suspense, and imagery were really intense!!! Those film projections were really scary, action-packed, and awesome; they truly brought it to life! WOW! It was cool, because I got to see what the different characters look like! I got to see Vlad, Lucifer, David, and Rommy, for the first time ever! I also FINALLY got to hear how certain songs go. I knew the words, because of the poetry book; but I finally heard the melodies for the first time. These songs included “Honey Money” and “Dracula’s Land”. I was AMAZED at Mihaela’s vocal range! At one point in the musical, she belted out an impressively high note- I think it was a B5, which is one note away from the soprano “high C!” That was amazing; and a cool surprise, since Mihaela’s usually the one who sings the lower parts. I bet Queen’s Roger Taylor would be proud! It made me so happy to see I actually contributed to the play, in a small way! I remember giving the Twins a few requests. I loved the playful romance between Mihaela and Charlie Chaplin in the “Tell Me Less” video, and I told the Twins I wanted to see more of “#Miharlie”. I also requested Mihaela pronounce her “L’s” with her lip more often, since it suggests a fangless mouth; and that she and vamp Gabriela have a human vs. vampire “la la la” because of this difference. Sure enough, in the cinema musical tonight, Mihaela and Gabriela sang “la la la” back and forth; with Mihaela’s “la la la” pronounced with her lip. And later on, Charlie made a guest appearance; I saw a whole 20 minutes of Mihaela and Charlie falling in love, and dancing together for two songs. And I saw Mihaela singing “Love Flu” about Charlie, which was straight out of a fanfiction I wrote a while ago! So when I noticed the Twins took my requests, AND referenced my fanfiction, I was thinking to myself, “YAAAAAS!” I had the biggest smile in these parts! I was the very first to pick up on the fact that the narrator’s and male characters’ voices were Gabriela’s, pitched down with an effect. I asked Gabriela backstage, “Was that you?” because I had a feeling it was her. She said yes; and she said everyone else, not even the tech guy, was able to figure that out! So I felt cool! I LOVED the last fight, the duel, between Mihaela with a cross and Gabriela with a weapon. That was INTENSE!!! I loved when Mihaela bit Gabriela with her human bite, winning the fight; and just when you thought Mihaela was dying, Gabriela’s piano music brought her back to life. What a great ending, seeing the Wicked Clone turn good. I especially loved the inspirational message at the end, about acceptance, and about being like God. That was very empowering. LOVE YOU, Mihaela and Gabriela, Indiggo Twins! YOU GIRLS WERE AWESOME!!!!”

“I must tell you, I have literally never shed a tear watching a movie or show until last night. It was very powerful. We LOVED the show! We were both wildly impressed! You are very talented. I’m honored to be your friend. We were totally blown away by Wicked Clone. What a moving story. The cinema alone was beautiful. The costumes were inspired. And the dancing and choreography were transporting. We got totally lost in the story and were saddened when it ended. Thank you, Mihaela and Gabriela for creating such a beautiful show. It’s a great show!! ”

I loved the beautiful and majestic fairy-tale story! I will certainly recommend this play to all of my friends as I found it to be quite entertaining! Catherine Fenton A delighted fan
— Catherine Fenton, history teacher, March 26, 2018
I had an amazing time yesterday when I went to see “Wicked Clone”. It reminded me of old fashioned heartfelt emotions that films of the past instilled emotions of a higher being that all people could share and relate with one another. It reminded me of Italian art and movies of great artists who were not afraid to integrate Great stories with God. The cinematography was great and not in the least pretentious. These two actresses gave a heartwarming and wining portrayal of this Cinema Musical. I also enjoyed the artistic dancing and beautiful style of singing! I want to do everything in my power to spread the news of this Great play because it has inspired me so much so I will tell everyone that I know. It has made me feel that my life has been more than passing through life without experiencing all the miracles that God has bestowed on all of us.
