Between the hauntingly beautiful melodies and the heart-tugging story, Dream That You Can Fly is an emotionally powerful roller coaster ride. At the first NY reading of the play, both the cast and those observing were all in tears. Browne deftly deals with the issues of a broken family, religious orthodoxy, a marriage on the rocks, the consequences of the ravages of social stigma, and end of life, weaving them all into a touching fabric that everyone can relate to.
A powerful musical that represents so many lives from our past and our present. The music is memorable and melodic. The story is deeply touching and will capture the hearts of America.
Playing Louise was such a beautiful treat. As a mother, just the thought of losing my child brings me to my knees. Louise is so beautifully written that is was easy to take her through the journey of profound love and unspeakable loss.
I’m weeping. I loved it so much for so many different reasons. The writing is simple yet profound. The lyrics are beautiful. The music is haunting.
Dream That You Can Fly is about so many relevant topics. Religious dogma. LGBT issues. Family bonds. Remorse. Forgiveness. Magic. Life. Death. Love. Hate. Robert Gregory Browne deserves every accolade.
Dream That You Can Fly is deeply poignant and well-crafted—Robert Gregory Browne’s songs are a treat for the ears.
