An early effort from a new musical theatre team that can’t help but feel out of place in the here-and-now.

Based on Matthew Sweet's iconic indie album, PrideArts delivers a perfect little late-summer sleeper.

What exactly can’t this quartet tell the unseen title character? Even with a game cast, it’s hardly worth asking.

This is a tale of tenderness, and the six actors each embody two men alternatively separated across four decades with a lived-in familiarity and well-forged chemistry. And when they all sing together (under the heartfelt musical guidance of Manning), it’s all the more magical.
