My overall impression
Breathtaking. Excellent. Beautiful. Only a few words to describe the opus. As a huge fan of the book I was both enthralled by this masterpiece, and a little sad. And by that I mean it’s too short. And knowing the story and Kelly, I know it’s on its way to a bigger stage with so much more room to play. With the incredible music & lyrics by Kelly and Matt Dahan, the actors take you on an amazing trip that brings you to such an emotional place. And while there are still a few pieces not as strong as others, this indeed a Must See this year. The control that the actors have over their voices to keep from blowing away the room and keeping you in the story is wonderful. Add that to Kelly’s just brilliant directing and you have show that would make the author proud. And were there more time this year, I would definitely see it again!
