"The musical The Clockmaker's Daughter, which premiered in 2015, enchants with its fairy-tale charm, rich score, and intriguing story. Written by Michael Webborn and Daniel Finn, this original British musical feels like a familiar and timeless fable, yet manages to resonate with modern audiences through its universal themes of love, prejudice, fear, and self-discovery. However, while captivating, the musical is overly long and lacking in character development. Fortunately, Paradise Valley Community College's Arizona premiere production features solid leads, an impressive set, and impactful direction....The cast of this production shines, with Taylor Underwood delivering a standout performance as Constance that is both ethereal and grounded.....a hauntingly beautiful musical with a fairly simple story that speaks to the heart and casts a magical spell. With its enchanting music, interesting characters, meaningful message, and poignant ending, it's a refreshing new and original musical that deserves to be discovered." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
Saw the show Sunday afternoon 6/22 and it was fabulous. The length didn't bother me at all because the story line, the music, and the choreography were all captivating. The quality of production is one of the best I have seen anywhere, including touring Broadway companies. Each member of the cast brought the characters to life. I predict this will be a HUGE Broadway hit one day, and so honored to have seen it in this intimate venue with this impressive cast.
