Caroline or Change
by Tony Kushner
What readers are saying
Readers appreciate the serious themes tackled in the play. However, some find the musical structure overwhelming, with too many songs that detract from the overall narrative. The balance between music and storytelling appears to be a point of contention among viewers.
Synopsis
Lousiana, 1963: A nation reeling from the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement and the Kennedy assassination.
Caroline, a black maid, and Noah, the son of the Jewish family she works for, struggle to find an identity for their friendship.
Through their intimate story, this musical portrays the changing rhythms of a nation.
Tony Kushner and composer Jeanine Tesori have created a story that addresses contemporary questions of culture, community, race and class through the lens and musical pulse of the 1960s.
