...show to be over-the-top in every possible way is an understatement—and the production HPT157: Terms of Frontierment does not disappoint those with such expectations. One opening line kindly predicts, “You came here to see a musical.” The song continues, “Well, darling, you’re not in Beacon Hill anymore,” making a reference to both the somewhat alien setting of the show and establishing from the outset the fact that HPT157 is obviously no ordinary musical...
