Jason Robert Brown's new musical Thirteen, which EAP blogged about a while back, and which features a cast and orchestra all under the age of eighteen opened on Broadway over the weekend. I have not heard any of the music personally but those who have had only positive things to say, and even Ben Brantley for the New York Times said the score was not the problem. Brantley felt the show was short on originality and reminded him more of High School Musical (ouch) than a challenging narrative about being a young adult. Brantley's review is linked below
