book, music, and lyrics by Peter Mills

from Shakespeare’s TWELFTH NIGHT
Opens March 2, 2007
directed by Clifford Parrish / produced by Cindy Alexander
“This high-spirited, utterly engaging musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is an intergenerational winner that deserves an unequivocal thumbs-up. Peter Mills and Cara Reichel, who adapted the show, have managed to do the near impossible. They have taken Shakespeare’s comic masterpiece, kept its Elizabethan spirit, voice and wit, yet created a new, accessible work that brashly and, at times, poignantly speaks to contemporary musical theater.”
—The New York Times
