We have always lived between two wars,
whichever the last one was, and whatever the next one will be.

Pick of the week . . . A Dada-inspired multi-media masterpiece.

- New York City's OffOffLine.com

I was struck that a show with the Blue Flower's originality had been written with such craft. I love the unflinching nature of it . Every word is unexpected.

- MARK HOLLMANN, composer, Urinetown

Haunting. Beautiful writing, in both the narration and lyrics. We are living in a period of history now just like the characters in this play. They didn’t quite know where they were going either.

- GREG KOTIS, book/lyrics, Urinetown

“Theater with a capital 'T' . . . brave, strong, unexpected and exhilarating . . . as delightful as it is moving, as smart as it is beautiful.”

- JULIA JONAS, offoffonline.com

“Brimming with the kind of feeling and inventiveness that musicals can never have enough of.”

- MATTHEW MURRAY, talkingbroadway.com

"A rush of pure sensation.”

- LOREN NOVECK, nytheatre.com

“The music is just so beautiful, ravishing. It’s an incredibly personal musical world, and yet, enormously evocative and universal.”

- STEPHEN SCHWARTZ, music/lyrics, Wicked

“I loved this, just wild about it. It's not going to be a normal show, no matter what you do. If anyone tells you to 'normalize' this, just run, and run fast.”

- STUART ROSS, writer, Radiant Baby
