Review by BRETT MOORE

June 17, 2026 certified reviewer

What I liked

I thought the music was delightful, and using it as a medium for communication across dimensions was such an effective choice!

What I didn't like

If lengthened, we might be able to better flesh out some of the characters and their motivations, and give the house’s victims a little more significance and connection to the audience, so that their losses are more impactful. But again, I’d love to see this at that length so we can really explore the history and other characters!

My overall impression

Carli Wright is delightful at the center of this spooky-coded musical tale that addresses communication, motivation, and manifestations of the love we need vs what we’re looking for. Would love to see her make this a full-length piece!
