10 Million Miles

Legit Reviews: Anyone expecting the director, producing team and Off Broadway company behind "Spring Awakening" to follow the Tony-winning rock musical with another hard-driving excursion into adolescent unease will be surprised by the complete departure of "10 Million Miles." Based around the music of Patty Griffin and remarkably in tune with the singer-songwriter's soulfully melancholy style, this gentle-hearted road romance about two luckless losers yearning for stability is as tender and mellow as "Spring Awakening" is bristling with nervous energy. While it will require further development of the two lead characters to secure a commercial future beyond the Atlantic, the show nudges the American musical in another distinctive direction.
