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.
