Press Reviews

"It's a gentle, low-key piece that wins its way by being so enjoyable. Somehow it touches a common chord; audiences can relate to it, and to the gallery of characters that inhabit it, as they look back on their high school days from 10 to 20 years on... The score... is actually melodic... The lyrics have the same sharpness and insights as the dialogue, and at least two or three of the songs would seem to have the ability to stand alone."
