"Finally there is KC Wilkerson’s lighting and his multiple award-winning video design, not only his best ever, but one of the most breathtaking blends of lights and video projections I can recall seeing."

Steven Stanley StageSceneLA 2011-02-11

"KC Wilkerson's lighting and video designs range from delicately beautiful to tyrannically overpowering – effective in this narrative context. The World War II images in the first scenes are especially evocative....I felt as if the afterlife was beckoning at the end of an explosively lit rendition of 'Pinball Wizard'...Wilkerson's lighting was a mixture of traditional effects & LED and other modern technologies, used brilliantly in conjunction with the music...(the) lighting and projections could be ravishingly beautiful or gritty and in your face..."

Paul Hodgins Orange County Register 2011-02-11

"a stylistic tour-de-force...an interpretive dance-influenced, acid-laced light show meets glam rock cabaret performance. Ah yes, the light show. There are times, like when Tommy is doing his Pinball Wizard bit, when what looks and feels like hundreds of lights start blinking to the chiming bells of the machine, and then they bleed into a white flash directed toward the audience, with the effect that you feel like Han Solo about to jump into lightspeed."

Nick Schou OC Weekly 2011-02-15

"KC Wilkerson's lighting design, not only his best ever, topping even last year's 'HAIR', but one of the most breathtaking blends of lighting and video I can recall seeing."

Steven Stanley StageSceneLA 2010-07-03

"The stars of the night are Sound Designer Casey Long and the extraordinary light show by KC Wilkerson, utilizing full-motion video under the control of the lighting console. You must see this dazzling display of psychedelic projections, moving lights and LED fixtures...the most astounding lighting of a show EVER seen in a small house..."

Tony Frankel Stage and Cinema 2010-08-04

"The moving lights, video projections and LED panels help Tommy's world come to vivid life in such a way that has never been attempted in previous black-box productions this reviewer has seen, with lighting/video design by KC Wilkerson, the whole show seems like it has been dropped inside a pinball machine, "

Michael L. Quintos Broadway World 2010-08-02

"...amazingly rendered in KC Wilkerson’s video and lighting design..."

Ben Miles Press-Enterprise 2010-08-10

"The opening alone is worth the trip...KC Wilkerson (lighting designer extraordinaire) was able to create special effects and video projections that set the scene for the drama to come. Reminiscent of old silent movies, not a word is spoken while the back-story of "Tommy" is projected on stage. "

Shirle Gottleib Stage Happenings 2010-07-15

"Designed by KC Wilkerson, awe-inspiring projected images and dazzling conglomerations of moving lights augment scenic designer Christopher Scott Murillo's skeletal but well-conceived set."

Les Spindle Backstage 2010-07-10

"The production also sports some technological advances heretofore unseen at the Chance, equipped with LED fixtures, moving lights and full-motion video projections custom-designed for this staging. The results far outstrip anything the theater has previously done. Wilkerson makes full use of this bag of tricks, with lighting that's alternately garish ("Sensation"), psychedelic ("Acid Queen") and fiery (the brightly kinetic yellow, orange and red strobes of "Pinball Wizard"). "

""Director Oanh Nguyen makes sure that each and every one of Hair’s dozens of musical numbers has its own unique style, incalculably abetted by KC Wilkerson’s award-worthy lighting, a psychedelic blend of multi-colored lights and spinning lasers, hand-held electric candles, and in one particularly memorable moment, a rotating mirror ball filling the theater with dancing stars for “Good Morning Starshine....one of the most spectacular Chance Theater lighting designs ever""

Steven Stanley Stage Scene LA 2009-07-13

""...under the very capable direction of Oanh Nguyen, the whole design, starting with Erika C. Miller’s costumes that cleverly mixes some modern and vintage costumes, yet retaining an overall feel for the 60s; Christopher Scott Murillo’s New York gritty street scene; and KC Wilkerson’s psychedelic lighting design all work seamlessly to achieve the overall feel of a fresh, hip, and fun revival.""
