It took two extremely talented creative artists both at the top of craft to get me to take a 3 hour, 160 mile ride! I was not disappointed with Treasure Island written by Marc Robin and Curt Dale Clark. This is a gem of a new musical . . . a major triumph with a grand future offering a sophisticated tale ripe with pirates, excitement, buried treasure, ships and distant shores peopled with richly developed characters . . .Robin and Clark are terrific storytellers true to the novel’s essence enriching their musical with humor, suspense, action, and loads of heart. Treasure Island is an adventure musical with a strong coming of age male bonding theme sparked by an unlikely friendship. Action and adventure fuel this tuneful musical.– Tom Williams, Chicago Critic on Beef N Boards 2009 production
