Mostly we're still waiting for reviews to come out. In fact, there are
some critics who are just seeing the show tomorrow. Here are excerpts
from the two things that have been written about the show so far (the
first is a preview article, the second is a full-fledged review), with
links to the full articles.
Don't-Miss List:
. . . our focus is on theater
events commemorating The War Between the States, and there are two of them.
Pride of place goes to tiny City Lit Theatre Company, which last year launched
a five-year project marking the 150th anniversary of that 1861-1865 war.
For Year Two of its project, City Lit offers
Opus 1861: The Civil War in Symphony, a musical revue of the rich musical legacy of that conflict.
Terrific Civil War musical:
The Civil War songbook’s rich
personal sensitivity toward the angst of war is deeply presented by this group
of talented singers. The superb vocals and the honest presentation of the
letters home added power to the sacrifice of these honorable patriots.
Get to City Lit Theater to experience the richness of traditional
American folk tunes sung marvelously by a troupe of new talents. This show will
lift your spirits and give you new respect to the honorable soldiers who defend
us when our nation calls.
Highly Recommended.
