Reviews
- "I haven't had so much fun and laughter in a long time. I often watch comedies, but in none of them have I experienced as many emotions as in this performance. There was no shortage of smiles and irony, but most importantly, there were very wise themes that concern us all".– Beata Kozidrak
- "Glam-pop fun in which Poles, without shame or a sense of inferiority compared to the great West, sing out their dreams, fears, and frustrations".– Dawid Dudko
- "To Be Like Beata proves, however, that it's not about the complexity (...), but about its execution. In Szczecin, it's masterful. Masterful thanks to the combination of creative forces and the ingenuity of the creators under the leadership of Magda Miklasz, but above all thanks to the actors of the Współczesny Theater, who give an impressive display of their talents and craftsmanship. It's even difficult to express here just how marvelous are the successive entrances on stage of Maria Dąbrowska, Magdalena Wrani-Stachowska, Arkadiusz Buszka, and Maciej Litkowski".– Mike Urbaniak
