| A hit Off Broadway and on Broadway, this began as a collection of writings of ghetto children-- their reflections, dreams and observations of the life around them. Then a semi rock score was added to subjects that included slums, hunger, dope, school, religion, relief, as well as lighter and purely fanciful matters. As the kids sing, dance and speak; as they mock, enjoy, resent, understand, reject and love one another, they create an irresistible evocation of individuality that excites and finally overwhelms the audience with its power. | |||||

Synopsis: | A musical about aging that is irrepressibly young at heart. . .. This is neither a musical with a story nor a random collage, but a show on a single subject, with music thematically integrated. . .. Necessarily, the show is also concerned with dying, but it is never depressing. Instead it is rejuvenating. . .. Many of the lines are pungent, and the songs maintain a level of sophistication even when dealing with potentially sentimental matters. . .. the first act is fine; the second act soars.-- N.Y. Times. | |||||
