Quotable Quote
“A thrilling musical...daringly conceived and beautifully
executed...a glorious realization of the art of theater
storytelling...NOT TO BE MISSED. The revelation on the current
production is discovering how well the material lends itself
to the addition of sign language as a storytelling device...like
discovering a third eye you didn’t know you had and
wondering what took you so long to find it.”
- Jay Reiner, Hollywood Reporter
