The Flood
“Awash in heartfelt emotions and glorious songs... Surging anthems and rapturous hymns crown a collection of complex character songs that detail the inhabitants of this small Midwestern town...”
— TALKIN’ BROADWAY
“Reichel and Mills have fashioned a folk opera about how the events affected the lives of the people of this typical American town and ignited the get up and go spirit that's part of our pioneer mythology...The Flood is a serious and seriously impressive musical.”
— CURTAINUP
“Peter Mills and Cara Reichel offer a stark and stirring portrayal of courage and conviction in The Flood. This study of the anticipation and aftermath of a natural disaster features down-to-earth dialogue and situations that give the show a slice-of-life quality rarely found in the musical theatre genre.”
