"
Caroline is a breakthrough--a story so grounded in the ordinary details of life that it almost seems to have discovered a new genre." -Richard Zoglin,
Time"Acute, smart and witty: a telling snapshot focusing with sharp clarity on characters captured at a fraught turning point in history--a culture's and a family's." -Charles Isherwood,
Variety"Thrilling. You've never seen anything quite like
Caroline, or Change and likely won't again anytime soon. There's never a moment that the part-pop, part-opera, part-musical-theater score Jeanine Tesori has conjured up doesn't ideally match Tony Kushner's meticulously chosen words with clarion precision." -Matthew Murray,
talkinbroadway.com"A monumental achievement in American musical theater. Joyful, wholly successful, immensely moving, told with abundant wit and generosity of heart." -John Helipern,
