"Caroline is a breakthrough -- a story so grounded in the ordinary details of life that it almost seems to have discovered a new genre." -Richard Zoglin, Time

"Acute, smart and witty: a telling snapshot focusing with sharp clarity on characters captured at a fraught turning point in history -- a culture's and a family's." -Charles Isherwood, Variety

"Thrilling. You've never seen anything quite like Caroline, or Change and likely won't again anytime soon. There's never a moment that the part-pop, part-opera, part-musical-theater score Jeanine Tesori has conjured up doesn't ideally match Tony Kushner's meticulously chosen words with clarion precision." -Matthew Murray, talkinbroadway.com

"A monumental achievement in American musical theater. Joyful, wholly successful, immensely moving, told with abundant wit and generosity of heart." -John Helipern, New York Observer

Louisiana, 1963: A nation reeling from the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement and the Kennedy assassination. Caroline, a black maid, and Noah, the son of the Jewish family she works for, struggle to find an identity for their friendship after Noah's stepmother, unable to give Caroline a raise, tells Caroline that she may keep the money Noah leaves in his pockets. Through their intimate story, this beautiful musical portrays the changing rhythms of a nation. Tony Kushner and composer Jeanine Tesori have created a story that addresses contemporary questions of culture, community, race and class through the lens and musical pulse of the 1960s.
