Upstairs - a Musical Tragedy

It is not for lack of talent that this show doesn't work for me, it is for lack of a well-honed and polished script. The subject matter is something that absolutely needs to be explored and discussed, but this musical needs refinement before it can truly take on that task.

This historic tragedy is so important to share and should have had a better treatment. What a disappointment!
