Critics Say
Come From Away
Critics warmly embrace this uplifting 9/11 musical about Newfoundland's hospitality, praising its heartwarming story, infectious Celtic-folk score, and stellar ensemble cast, though some find it overly sentimental or question the appropriateness of the subject matter.
Hadestown
Critics hail this folk-opera retelling of the Orpheus myth as a stunning, inventive triumph with gorgeous music and visionary staging, though a few find it emotionally distant. Mitchell's score and Chavkin's direction earn widespread praise.
