...Peter
Mills, who provided the book, music, and lyrics to
this revue, could win this year's Stephen Sondheim
Successor Award in a walk.

Peter Mills and Cara Reichel offer a stark and stirring portrayal
of courage and conviction in "The Flood." This study of
the anticipation and aftermath of a natural disaster features down-to-earth
dialogue and situations that give the show a slice-of-life quality
rarely found in the musical theatre genre.

Peter Mills
and Cara Reichel, who adapted the show, have managed
to do the near impossible. They have taken
Shakespeare's comic masterpiece, kept its
Elizabethan spirit, voice and wit, yet created a
new, accessible work that brashly and, at times,
poignantly speaks to contemporary musical theater.

Regency England
receives a fresh lease on life in the intriguing new
musical "'The Alchemists." This literate,
tuneful show revisits the era when Byron, Keats and
Shelley flowered, and the unpredictability of
romance and passion clashed with the strictures of
religion and the logic of science.

Peter Mills is a prodigiously
talented songwriter. The slick, funny, tuneful music
and lyrics in his new song cycle Lonely Rhymes
are near the high level of his songs for his OOBR-winning
Taxi Cabaret as are the performances by
Jason Mills, Tracey Moore, Liz Power, and Noah
Weisberg. It's glorious icing, complete with sprinkles
and candy roses...

Anyone interested in the future of musical theatre
should hightail it down to the East Village and catch
the Prospect Theater Company’s wonderful new
production, The Pursuit of Persephone. Musical
aficionados will be heartened to see that it lies, in
part, in the capable hands of Peter Mills and Cara
Reichel, a talented composer-lyricist-bookwriter-director
team who would make several of their musical
predecessors—Cole Porter, Comden & Green, Stephen
Sondheim—proud of their accomplishments here.

Oh, there’s
nothing like a good old-fashioned musical comedy! The
jokes, the innocence, the happy endings, the
easy-on-the-ear tuneful melodies! Nothing else can put
such a grin on one’s face, nothing else can make you
forget your troubles and make the world seem a-ok. And
nothing else I’ve seen in New York this season quite
captures the spirit of an old-fashioned musical comedy
like Iron Curtain... Peter Mills’ lyrics, once
again, would make Cole Porter wonder "Why didn’t I
rhyme that?"
