Book and Lyrics by Hana Roth Seavey<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Music by John Henry Sheridan<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Jack – the wildly underestimated teen who avenges his father, crushes the infamous Ogre, and brings the family riches back home – re-invented! JACK AND THE CHOC’LIT MILK COW reaches out interactively to every child and every generation in the audience. The classic Appalachian tale, scored by John Henry Sheridan in folk rock, bluegrass, and rap has never been so deeply-felt, so exuberantly funny, so danceable, and so touched by magic!<\/p>\n

REVIEW:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

New York Times, Laurel Graeber, Family Fare<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

“Audrey II of “The Little Shop Of Horrors” is not the only enormous plant dominating a New York stage this spring. But the one at Looking Glass Theatre doesn’t eat people; it raises them up. Kate Marks, the director, has given “Jack!” lots of circus flash, with inventive masks, and rollicking choreography. This greenery snakes through the center aisle and then up onto the set… as the actors carry it on their backs, animating it with their green-gloved arms and hands. But this plant is only a prelude to a larger star: the Giant in the form of a 13 foot tall Bunraku puppet…although potentially scary to toddlers, to older children, the Giant is — in all senses — a hit! But not all the show’s treats are visual. Ms. Seavey’s book cleverly relates Jack’s battle to win back his patrimony and help his mother. Mr. Sheridan’s lively score embraces Bluegrass to Hip-Hop, with instruments ranging from guitars, to piano, to washboards. It’s all very danceable.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
