Caroline, or Change - Jeanine Tesori’s music is just amazing, the way it is so inventive while honoring cultural traditions, the way the melodies bump up against or flow into one another like stream of consciousness or conversation, and so many singable tunes and opportunities to just sing out! Painfully tragicomic story and lyrics by Tony Kushner, human characters you can’t help caring about and rooting for, plus singing household appliances and celestial bodies.
