Josephson is the star of the show; his composing is every bit as exciting as Jonathan Larson’s work. Whether in groups or solos, the music is impressive, and I anticipate great things to come for Mr. Josephson.
Louis Josephson, who is still a student at Juilliard, has composed a competent rock score, full of propulsive arrangements, with soaring arias, duets and ensemble numbers delivered by a young appealing cast of powerhouse singers.
Some artists feel an added sense of responsibility when presenting a work with serious subject matter. Mr. Josephson’s responsibility is driven by passion.
