Book, Music and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson

THE OREGONIAN
"Stumptown Stages' version of the rock musical that wowed New York a decade and a half ago is raw and ragged, loud and lovely."

"The young cast's infectious enthusiasm and the strong singing in many of the Tony-winning songs make this a show worth seeing."

"With his strong, sure voice, Clay Neal gives the shaggy story a clean throughline as the narrating character Mark."

"Among a capable group of principal singers and actors, Tyler Andrew Jones is transcendent as Angel, a cross-dressing gay man inspiring the outcasts to celebrate love. The contrast between his joyful tabletop prance in act one--in a fur-fringed Santa dress above zebra tights--and his bleary-eyed stumble in the last throes of AIDS in act two is transfixing and heartbreaking."

"In the small Theatre Noir, where you can see the eyes of the actors clearly, you get the feeling that these young people are enacting a life they know something about."
