The production is dynamic and engrossing

The execution is so meticulous that you find yourself absorbing history almost by osmosis.

While the Lehman family’s history is long and complex, at its heart it’s a story about the American Dream, the immigrant gamble for success, the reinvention of self, and the eventual cost of that ambition. The production’s inventive treatment and educational undercurrent elevate what could be a dry history lesson into something extraordinary. I’ll admit I knew little of the Lehmans or their legacy before seeing the show; by the end, I felt like I’d been ushered through a living, breathing history disguised as theatre.
