Looking Back

By Dianna Tucker Baritot for nytheatre.com

Four singers carry the hour. Ficklin's use of a countertenor is daring, but effective.

He sounds loveliest in his uppermost register, and is as creepy as the Master of the Dance in The Painter as he is charmingly impish as Michael in Looking Back.
