Running time: 2 hours, 30 minutes (with a 10-minute intermission) Set against the backdrop of the Kennedy assassination and the Civil Rights Movement during the final tumultuous months of 1963, this Tony-nominated, semi-autobiographical musical by Tony Kushner (Angels in America) explores the clash between two families’ American experiences. Caroline Thibodeaux, an African-American maid in a Jewish family’s wealthy Louisiana household, discovers money in the laundry of eight-year old Noah, forcing her into an ethical dilemma that ultimately leads to a new appreciation for the power of change. Composer Jeanine Tesori’s (Thoroughly Modern Millie) exhilarating score weaves gospel, pop, blues, jazz, and traditional Jewish melodies together to support this powerful show the New York Times called “extraordinary.” |
