NEW - THE UNDERCLASSMAN - Talkin' Broadway's Review

Posted by: T.B._Admin. 07:30 pm EST 11/19/14
Matthew Murray takes a look at The Underclassman:

The quintessential Peter Mills–Cara Reichel musical of the last decade, even for people who didn't see it, was unquestionably The Pursuit of Persephone. Though produced Off-Off-Broadway by the then-in-ascent Prospect Theater Company in 2005, it attained recognition and word of mouth comparable to that of many of the hottest Broadway hits, because it heralded the official arrival of Mills as a gifted songsmith of the old-fashioned school who was nonetheless writing newfangled entertainments completely free of dust. There were quibbles to be made with this musical about F. Scott Fitzgerald at Princeton before Zelda Sayre, but when you were awash in those songs and Reichel's brilliant staging, nothing else mattered. . . .
