[Everyone] will be stirred by the sheer gotta-dance, gotta-sing energy of Telson’s music [in] The Gospel at Colonus and the performances it receives from a stage brimming over with inspired musicians. Virtually everyone in the cast (the largest to appear on a Broadway stage in many years) merits his or her own guerdon of praise.(Peter Biskind, “The Manchurian Candidate,” Nation, 5/14/1988.)
