Critical response


Critical response was positive to mixed; Jesse Green of the New York Times saying "Malloy's music remains as hypnotic and embracing as ever"; David Gordon of Theatermania calling it "perhaps the most societally noteworthy new musical to come out of the post-Covid era". Tony Marnelli of Theatrescene.net stated "Malloy always has a clear vision. Tackling the book, music, lyrics and orchestrations for a piece with so much message to it is daunting, yet Malloy’s masterwork is a triumph in that it touches us so deeply as it entertains."
