"The theme was intense. The dancers were very good. I loved the musical score. I did'nt put myself within any framework so I could accept all that was portrayed..... the sequences between the tree and the girl and that of the palanquin were beautiful."
- Radhika Shurajit in Kutcheribuzz.

"The music was well composed.....the transformation from the little girl to the grown up was well brought out through the dance and costumes. All the dancers did very well although I am not happy about the variety in choreography."
- Art and music critic, V.A.K. Ranga Rao in Kutcheribuzz.

"The opening scene of the production was brilliantly executed... the superb lighting and music added to the whole dramatic effect of the movement... The portayal of the girl by Mahalakshmi was very good... The show succeeded in bringing out the essence of a typical village, its lifestyle and its culture... The bullock cart, (depicted by the dancers) carrying the bride was a brilliant piece of choreography... The musical score was creative and original... The Living Tree enthralled the audience from to start to finish."

"The new production has drawn mixed but strong responses from the Madras audiences and artistes too. But the fact that the production has been talked about here indicates the impact that it has made. Something rarely seen in recent times.... most performances were filled to capacity. "
