Broadway Reviews

NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:

"Did not merely open at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre last night. The action was more like ripping open, more like breaking out, more like tearing into the pretend pop and reused plots that pass for new musicals on Broadway today."

USA TODAY REVIEW:

WASHINGTON POST REVIEW:

"The sweet sound of the future is what you hear these days on West 49th Street.
