...Zola's tragic story has been updated to post-World War II New Orleans, but the plot's basic outline has been changed little. And that's part of the hurdle the musical faces. This is a show in which the two leads (Craig Bierko and Kate Levering) wind up destroying each other; another character spends the entire second act paralyzed by a stroke; and yet another doesn't come to life until after he's dead.

And though the Crimson Key might talk briefly about the Core Curriculum, they leave applicants unprepared for the horrifying discovery of having to sit through eight pointless classes that have nothing even remotely to do with their real academic interests...
