Theater 101 - John Kenrick

Genuine treasures are on display at the York Theatre Company! Lingoland  is a collection of theatrical jewels; songs, poems and dialogs that have been cut and polished to multi-faceted brilliance so that they warm the heart and please the eye from every angle. This is the kind of soulful fare that is all too rarely seen these days -- so it is all the sweeter to savor. With two or three new shows a year as good as this, the American musical theatre would be in mighty fine shape indeed.

……… If you can't catch this show during its limited New York run, then treat yourself to the original cast CD that is set to come out later this year on Jay Records. Coming on the triumphant heels of Musical of Musicals and Souvenir, Lingoland proves (as if further proof were needed!) that the York Theatre Company is the strongest source for outstanding new musical theatre today.
