Post-9/11 Broadway 

Resonating to the aftershocks at Ground Zero

Page 3 of 3

Since the dying man's enterprise is nothing less than an operatic adaptation of Moby Dick, there's a clear parallel between the composer's steely determination and Ahab's mad quest. Trouble is, Great Whales gets sidetracked in Ishmael's adventures, a female muse/opera soprano gets tossed into the stew, and both Ahab and Moby barely show up.

I did like the score, despite the garbled lyrics, and my wife, whose mom succumbed to Alzheimer's, was deeply affected by the story. This may be a super musical. But not until we get supertitles.
