Reviews


Music takes 'Anne Frank' to new level
May 20, 2006
​
…. the experiences of the adolescent Anne have found a fresh conduit in a musical adaptation of her words called "I am Anne Frank," a musical drama by the New York team of Michael Cohen and Enid Futterman that is currently receiving its Twin Cities premiere in a co-production of Nautilus Music-Theater and Intermedia Arts.Even if you think you know the story well, this work offers new perspectives and insights, thanks to the emotional enhancements of Cohen's music. From ebullient joy to deep sadness to nagging anxiety, Cohen's score mixes Broadway-ready ballads with an earthiness rooted in traditional Jewish folk.
