reviewed JAMES JOYCE'S THE DEAD

In Richard Nelson and Shaun Davey's musical, Joyce's bittersweetness turns treacly. There's a level of polish to the show's execution at the Arden, but director Terrence Nolen has taken the title of the musical too literally. He seems overawed by Joyce, and puts ghosts on the stage rather than people.-- David Anthony Fox
