Press & Audience Reviews

 “The Golden Cage” is a new musical fairytale about the powerful illusions we trap ourselves in, and how we find freedom through human connection.

The award-winning live NYC production was directed by R. Lee Kratzer and stars two powerful new talents : Chris Isolano and Maddie Allen.  It won awards for Best Musical Score, Best Actor and Most Innovative Production in the 2022 Off-Broadway “CreateTheater New Works Series.” The film is now available at StreamingMusicals.com and the musical play is available for licensing.

“an original and modern fairytale that simultaneously feels familiar and new. A blend of The Wizard of Oz-style escapism and Waiting for Godot-like philosophic layers, The Golden Cage has the ability to both inspire and entertain across generations.” See full review

“Deborah Henson-Conant’s genius is on full display in her stunning musical THE GOLDEN CAGE. A musical and lyrical masterpiece, the score is deeply satisfying in its harmonic inventions that will remind you of both Sondheim and Guettel – but is truly the composer’s own unique voice. The lyrics and the dialogue are expertly woven into this two-person musical that will delight sophisticated audiences”.

Tony-Award Nominee, Paul Gordon (composer/writer of Broadway’s “Jane Eyre” and “Daddy Long Legs” and creator of the new “Streaming Musicals” Platform)
