Goblin Market, an award-winning Off-Broadway Musical written by Polly Pen and Peggy Harmon, is based on a verse fairy tale by Christina Rossetti.
It is open to interpretation but has variously been perceived as a fairy tale for children, a religious allegory and an examination of Victorian sexuality and eroticism. At its emotional core, however, it is the story of a very real and intricate relationship between two sisters.
The authors have perfectly captured the dreamy tone, fantastic imagery and sexual aura of Goblin Market, which tells of two sisters who confront goblins in a haunted glen.
Terri Klausner, a one time Broadway "Evita" who made a strong impression several seasons ago in "Sophisticated Ladies" and "Anne Morrison", received unanimous praise for exceptional voices augmenting a melodically riveting and spell-binding score.
Reviews include...
"Flawless¦ fascinating exquisite music and moving performances. It is sure to please anyone who wishes to spend an hour or so in the realms of the Victorian psyche." Frank Rich WKXR NY Times.
"In a class by itself. Magical performances, a fascinating piece." Douglas Watt. N.Y. Daily News
