“The songs, performed to a high standard under Jesse Kissel’s musical direction, burrow into the dark complexities that these confused, wounded characters often find hard to talk about.”
“The smoothly polished Broadway style of the music, with rich orchestrations by Michael Starobin and music direction by Conductor and 1st Keyboardist Jesse Kissel, sometimes serves as an odd and much-needed break from the horrors the protagonist experiences when he feels that everyone around him is fine, sometimes as an entry point into his disturbed thoughts, and sometimes to express the sincere feelings of the characters.”
