3 Summers of Lincoln

Finally, a new musical that is truly innovative (albeit not completely),compelling and compelling entertaining. Any historical musical these days is going to evoke memories of Hamilton, which 3 Days can’t shake at times. But the cast is terrific, the choreography unique and the music fitting for the story. The lyrics are a weak link at times. However the opening is sensational and Lincoln’s final number is a barn burner. Director Ashley said at this 5th preview they are still reworking dialogue and writing new numbers so I hope they make it even stronger. See it if you are in San Diego

Yeah losing Brian Stokes Mitchell right before rehearsal started was a bummer but I am still looking forward to seeing this in a few weeks.

A busy few months for Daniel J Watts between this and Lights Out
