...an artfully conceived, personality packed synergy between a 21st-century vocal magician, as disciplined and accomplished as any classically trained opera singer, and a superbly judged musical vernacular from Hamilton, blending traditionally conceived orchestral textures with more hard-edged gestures. It’s wildly entertaining, innovative, brilliantly unconventional and yet never overly irreverent. If only all crossover was as insightful and undiluted as this excellent piece.
