Among the favorite performances of the public are also "Alchemy of Love", "King Lear", "School of Temptation" and "The Angel Has Gone Out of the Fog".

Negative views can be found about the production of "God of Massacre". Some viewers were disappointed with what was happening on stage. They felt like they were watching a cheap low-level TV show.

Often, from this performance, the audience leaves without waiting for it to end.
