A New Musical by Arnie Roman 

"I had a great time. There are some terrific songs and lyrics…Bravo!”

"Wow, wow, wow! I was just so very moved. The songs are so gorgeous ("Don't Give Up On Me" absolutely wrecks me), and what a talented cast AND magnificent book!

Jeryl Brunner, Forbes

"Stunning music and clever plot twists...Surviving the Rosenthals is not sappy. It provides real-world hope and outcomes..."
