“At the heart of the production is Mandviwala’s unforgettable performance of Pi Patel, whose unyielding spirit is portrayed with depth and nuance. Balancing youthful wonder with profound introspection, Pi becomes our guide through a story that is at the same time harrowing and uplifting.”

“Pi himself is played by actor Taha Mandviwala, and it’s no surprise he’s also an athlete and health coach because the energy this man needed to portray the role is on another level. Onstage for nearly the entire performance, Pi’s optimism, resilience, and vulnerability translate exceptionally well in a performance that demands both physical and emotional stamina, and Mandviwala delivers on every level.” - Chris Draghi, The Rogers Revue

"Taha Mandviwala as the titular character is nothing short of brilliant in the role. Mandviwala is physically captivating, whether he’s springing spryly about on the boat or drifting through the ocean. Even when he’s physically still, there’s a bombastic and frenetic pulsation of energy vibrating ferociously inside of him. Mandviwala delivers emotionally harrowing and brutally gutting moments of storytelling, leaving the audience hanging on his every word, movement, and expression."

“The remarkable Taha Mandviwala carries the show. As nimble as an acrobat, he leaps and bounds across the stage with youthful energy. His comic timing, deadpan delivery, radiant smile, and palpable fear make him a compelling protagonist. His despair is so tangible it’s almost exhausting to watch, but you can’t look away.” - Timoth David Copney, Broadway World
