Is there such a thing as absolute truth? That is the resounding question in Michael John LaChiusa’s masterful chamber musical, whose New York premier boasted Marc Kudisch, Idina Menzel, Mary Testa, and additional top talent. Based on the short stories of Ryunosuke Akutagawa, the show features LaChiusa’s most brilliant writing to date, and blends provocative depth with wry hilarity.
