The Buddha Prince
TigerLion Arts
"The youthful and effervescent Clay Man Soo portrays HHDL in these years, playful and "naughty," preferring to spend time outdoors and with animals rather than at his studies. ...He takes us through all of these stages of his life, and shows us the human behind the iconic leader." -Cherry & Spoon

Mlima's Tale
Ten Thousand Things Theater
"Clay Man Soo takes the cake with nine roles, including small comic ones such as a waiter and a reporter and, memorably, a shades-wearing customs official and an ivory master carver. That he performs with relish helps give "Mlima" its edge".

Mother Courage and Her Children
at Pangea World Theater
"Despite Brecht's challenges for the actors, the marvelous and diverse ensemble create a number of engaging characters. Standouts in the cast include... Clay Man Soo, as Mother Courage's son Eilif, [who] was virtually unrecognizable from his delightful character in Theater Mu's A Korean Drama Addict's Guide to Losing Your Virginity". -MN Theater Love
"Favorites for me included...Clay Man Soo as convicted recruit Eilif… They all find small details that breathe their characters into life and tackle this material with full humanity".

May Lee Yang's The Korean Drama Addict's
Guide to Losing Your Virginity
"In a strong 10-person cast, standouts include Clay Man Soo as an acquiescent secretary who grows wings..." -Twin Cities Pioneer Press
"Clay Man Soo, as Benedict's assistant, is youthful and engaging. His portrayal of Secretary Kim is so delightful and lovable that even a surprising change of clothes produces a great laugh. He's another star to keep an eye on."
-Minnesota Theater Love
"Benedict's sidekick, Secretary Kim, is played by Clay Man Soo, and he's young, enthusiastic, and provides the perfect amount of vulnerability." -One Girl Two Cities
"...It is Clay Man Soo’s Secretary Kim that stole my heart and will remain the character I will think back to most. Lee-Yang writes him with humor and great clarity, building a character that gives Soo the ability to really chart Secretary Kim’s progression through the play. It’s a stellar performance by Soo, and worth the price of admission in its own right." -Minnesota Playlist Review
