A modern-day retelling of the Psyche myth, the production features a mind-bogglingly intricate staging that includes spectacular design elements, a wonderful cast, terrific choreography and the kind of dream musical direction that would grace a Broadway show. Ashley Ruth Jones carries the show as Psyche with an other-worldly vocal range and vivid emotional life that proves her worth of nothing less than a star. As Psyche, Ashley Ruth Jones reveals stage presence, deeply felt emotion, and above all powerful vocals.
