“With Ben Randle staging and Robbie Cowan’s music direction, it is a musical-theatrical treat. Cowan, an S. F. Conservatory of Music alumnus, is responsible for this luminous reduction of Jonathan Tunick’s re-orchestration of the original 1979 Broadway production. Five musicians seated on the stage reveal a complex, ravishing score, which is transparent, clear, utterly contemporary, and in the class of the best of Ligeti, Part, and Adams.”
