this new musical that just began at Ars Nova sounds pretty cool.  Early reports are appreciated as always 

 

In this sweeping world premiere, composer Heather Christian imbues the classical oratorio with blues, gospel, jazz and soul.  

From the show:

The result is an in-the-round fusion of music and theater, staged by Obie Award-winning director Lee Sunday Evans and featuring eighteen virtuosic singers and instrumentalists. Both otherworldly and achingly intimate, Oratorio for Living Things heralds Christian as an undeniable artistic force — and inspires us to reflect on the mystery of human experience, set against the vast scope of cosmic time.

Very curious about this. Hoping to see it as it's been extended---if we aren't forbidden to enter NYC, that is.
