Show Reviews
(re: The Magic of Mrs. Crowling) Larry Lees’ sweeping orchestral strains…gives these scenes an unexpected, emotional heft.
- Sam Thielman (Backstage)
Every note, every lyric is imbued with a passion for this very difficult art form. Larry is clearly interested in pushing the musical theatre envelope, even as he honors its traditions.
- Dick Scanlan
I have seen “the face of evil,” and it is JONESTOWN, THE MUSICAL.
- Anonymous Web Critic
The piece (Obesa Cantavit) is wonderful. The music is passionate and moving.
- Andrew Lippa
(re: Obesa Cantavit) Your music, libretto, choral arrangements and orchestrations were all first rate. And there was a guiding intelligence behind every element that was wonderfully impressive. Bravo!
