"The finale of Pretty Things, a mixed-repertoire program of original, Houston-born ballets, offers so many reasons to marvel. McIntyre’s piece transports viewers to outer space, where planets are disco balls and the sun, moon and atmosphere are yellow lightning bolts with star-shapes cut throughout. It’s a Ziggy Stardust world, and for at least 20 minutes, we’re all just living in it."
Amber Elliott, Houston Chronicle
​
"Pretty Things performs with the volume turned all the way up. It literally crescendos with a confetti canon and is the most fun you will have in a theatre this year."
AmberElliott, Houston Chronicle
​
"Trey McIntyre’s Blue Until June, both thought-provoking and viscerally captivating, closed out the program. Testimony from McIntyre also illuminated this piece, in terms of narrative and concept, in a video introduction prior to it. He noted how, for him, pop music can give young people hyperbolic and saccharine views of romantic relationships. Much of the piece – which illustrated many romantic relationships, and situations within those relationships – came from that, he explained."
Kathryn Boland, Dance Informa
​
"A gift like this reminds me of the choreographer Antony Tudor. But there’s a fertility of invention and a modernity of spirit here that are all Mr. McIntyre’s own.”
Alastair Macaulay, The New York Times
“There is indeed such a thing as genuine 21st Century ballet, and it belongs more to this guy from Wichita than any of the over-hyped pretenders from England, France or Russia. McIntyre rocks, McIntyre rules. Everyone else can just get in line.”
Lewis Segal, Los Angeles Times
"Keep your eye on Trey McIntyre, who creates brilliant works in what you might call the contemporary, semi-classical Jerome Robbins tradition.”
Lewis Segal, Los Angeles Times
​
"Virtually everybody loved Trey McIntyre’s “Your Flesh Shall Be a Great Poem,” a deeply personal memory piece that dipped into a variety of dance styles and left its protagonist in his briefs wrestling with a four-legged stool, all set to a catchy rock score. Ambiguity has rarely seemed so inviting."
San Francisco Chronicle

"I crown him the most musical choreographer alive." Dance Magazine
​
"McIntyre is a talent to watch: His Second Before the Ground is the most exhilarating work I've seen by a young choreographer in years."

"The Accidental ended with one of the most stunning solos I’ve ever seen in my life.“
