Paris Clayton III’s world premiere production is a compelling, historically-grounded drama that unfortunately finds itself hindered by the 'unintended insularity' of its writer-director. While the staging often feels as stuck as the characters it depicts, a standout second act offers flashes of brilliance that suggest a much deeper potential waiting to be unearthed.

There is just something so damned exciting about Tony Kushner and Jeanine Tesori's 'Caroline, or Change'! It is rare indeed to experience a work of art this ambitious, morally complex, entertaining, honest, and just plain downright human. It is easily one of the handful of best musicals written in the past 25 years. And how original - a musical play about nothing less than the human capacity for change and growth despite seemingly insurmountable odds. For anyone out there bemoaning the dumbing-down of the American musical theater and longing for the halcyon days of Broadway's supposed Golden Age, you need look no further than 'Caroline' to restore your confidence.
