Parcel From America is an extremely poignant new musical.  It is the story of a small village in Ireland whose inhabitants really take the commandment "love thy neighbor" to heart. The plot is unique and surprising. Even though you can feel the happy ending coming from a mile away, you don't know exactly how the story will take you there.

The performances are heartfelt, as are the songs. The score is mostly written in the style of traditional Irish folk songs, and the music has a lovely lilt. Because of the strong Irish accents, it may sometimes be hard to understand what is being said or sung. However, it shouldn't be enough of an issue to make it hard to keep up with the plot.

The show is full of warm family and found-family vibes and teaches some important lessons about caring for others and making sacrifices. However, adult themes and some strong language make it mostly suitable for older children.

And that's our view. For more about Parcel From America or to purchase tickets, visit parcelirishmusical.com.
