My overall impression
Pleasantly surprised… When I hear a story has a Biblical theme, I get a little nervous. I think we’ve all had our fill of being preached at.
However, this musical was an entirely fresh and quirky take on the creation story. Adam and Eve, reincarnated through the ages, forever in search of one another? God as three people, an old man, a transsexual, and a little girl? A sexy Lucifer who is surprisingly sympathetic?
Wow. By the end of act I, I had laughed out loud dozens of times and even wept twice. By the end of the show, I was standing clapping until my hands hurt.
The songs were great, and I’m still humming them days later. I wish there was a soundtrack available.
I highly recommend checking this production out. It is highly entertaining, thoughtful, and funny. Well worth your time. I know we will see more of this talented young playwright.
