“Liff’s theatrical background shines through and firmly places what could otherwise become a frivolous and gimmicky cash grab headlined by familiar personalities as a legitimately riveting theatrical event.”
“Rather than take you out of the material, choreographer Spencer Liff uses ASL as a way to amazingly imbue Duncan Sheik’s songs with even more passion and conviction.”
“Choreographer Spencer Liff is crucial to this brand-new incarnation of Hedwig. He draws inspiration from the likes of Iggy Pop, David Bowie & Tina Turner in creating Hedwig’s signature moves.”
“Spencer Liff’s choreography incorporates signing and movement into perfectly coordinated sequences that seem completely organic to the narrative.”
“Spencer Liff helped Neil Patrick Harris find his groove as Hedwig and turned sign language into dance for Deaf West’s Spring Awakening revival. Now he’s having the Best Time Ever.”
Spring Awakening
“It’s most apparent in a series of explosive production numbers, buoyantly staged by choreographer Spencer Liff. The rock-infused energy lifts up the entire enterprise. Cue the sign again, for heaven.”
SYTYCD
“... there’s also fresh energy coursing through this polished presentation, due largely to the choreographic skill of Spencer Liff, a dance creator for Fox TV’s ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ and for such Broadway shows as ‘Falsettos’ and the Deaf West revival of ‘Spring Awakening’”

“His dance moves feel like such a natural extension of Hedwig’s confrontational personality that you forget that they’ve been carefully choreographed by Spencer Liff.”
