CRITICAL ACCLAIM:
“This rousing musical has taken the plot from The Winter’s Tale, tossed out anything resembling Shakespearean language, and achieves a hypnotic effect with musical numbers that leave the audience whooping.”— New York Times
“Thrilling for Shakespeare enthusiasts, essential for gospel devotees, and an exciting new work for fans of the American musical . . .moving and meaningful, an allegory for the Holiday Season. —TheaterMania
