"The regional premiere of the new musical The Roads to Loch Lomond at The Phoenix Theatre Company blends history, music, and emotion into a sweeping yet intensely personal story. With its stirring Celtic-inspired score and strong cast, this new musical captures the spirit of resilience, love, and sacrifice at the heart of Scotland's past. The production is both intimate and epic, offering a deeply personal tale while also evoking the weight of history....The cast rise to the challenges of this demanding piece with power and sensitivity. ...Vocally, all four performers shine, navigating the lush and sometimes complex score with ease, conviction, and passionate voices that soar with sustained and gorgeous high notes." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
"The Phoenix Theatre Company’s regional premiere of the new musical, “The Roads to Loch Lomond” proves a major disappointment....The exceedingly lackluster score by Neil Douglas Reilly possesses no stirring anthems so the mundane musical numbers – all akin to Scottish tunes – unfold without uniqueness...." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
"Their story finds deeply resonant expression in this musical by Maggie Herskowitz (book and lyrics) and Neil Douglas Reilly (music), now on stage at The Phoenix Theatre Company under the inspired direction and choreography of Jeff Whiting. The cast of four is superb....This is a musical that doesn’t shout its brilliance; it earns it, moment by moment, verse by verse. Beneath its historical trappings lies a universal story of brotherhood, sacrifice, and the fragile threads that bind us to those we love."
