Duncan Sheik's musical a critical hit...I hope it lasts
When I saw Duncan Sheik at Montalvo a month or two back, he mentioned that he had a musical opening on Broadway.
It has opened to what can only be called rather unanimous acclaim. And as one blogger put it, it seems like critics are trying to help the show have a healthy run, because ticket sales have been slow. It's not like opening in winter was the best timing to give the show a fair shot. (Especially when it's called Spring Awakening.)
So, said blogger has compiled links and quotes fromt he reviews here. I also downloaded the album from iTunes today. Very melodic, wry, very Duncan Sheik.
I'm going to NYC in mid-January and intend to see this if it's still running.
