„[…] The show proposed by Muşata Mucenic, based on this medieval-looking text by the Dutch playwright, has coherence and its own, convincing life. This Hocus-Pocus, a character who confuses and straightens out the relationships between his peers – a kind of Păcală from another time and another space – has not only charm, but also an educational and formative function that should not be neglected in a show for children. An existing function, perceptible in the Oradea show. The staging also provided a useful exercise for the troupe, many of its members being on their first appearance «in flesh and blood», in front of the audience, and yet giving certain evidence of interpretative talent. In the title role, loan Moldovan stands out, a mobile and expressive actor; alongside him, Rodica Suplăcan (Sandra), Marlena Prigoreanu (Simplina) and loan Oros (Dofilius) contribute to the success of the show in particular.” (Dinu Kiva, Theater, (No. 6, June 1982)
