    Critic's Pick- The musical personifies American history in some very dramatic ways. Even though we know the outcome, we are caught up in the arguments and the music. The production’s strong voices and Matthew Wilson’s sharp direction underscore the messages the show’s creators had in mind.

     Wilson dug deep and assembled the sort of ensemble other directors will envy...  The Incline has a wonderfully robust production, one that takes us a step back from the noise that emanates from Washington DC and reminds us of the ideals and passions that came together to form this country.
