Roundabout's ORDINARY DAYS Reviewed In The NY Times
The New York Times reviewed Roundabout's Ordinary Days in an article titled "Where Little-Town Blues Melt Away, So Can Dreams." The article was written by Charles Isherwood and published on 10/26/09.
The piece begins "'Ordinary Days,' a new chamber musical that opened on Sunday night as part of the Roundabout Underground series at the company's Black Box Theater, captures with stinging clarity that uneasy moment in youth when doubts begin to cloud hopes for a future of unlimited possibility.
'What am I doing here?' one of the quartet of anxious New Yorkers sings in this genial, quietly affecting show. The same question haunts all of them at one point or another, as the certainty of finding satisfaction seems to recede in the distance, like the last taxi in sight driving off with somebody luckier on a rainy night."To read the full article click here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/26/theater/reviews/26ordinary.html?ref=theater
