"...I was optimistic upon entering the intimate space with The Decemberists piping over the speakers, and an opening number reminiscent of "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd". After this I spent the next 60 minutes waiting for those few moments of inspiration. "The Timeless Tale of New Portsmouth...A New Musical" has potential, but lacks definite choices all around. It did not know if it wanted to be a parody of musical theatre, or an original comic musical. I felt it found more success in parody than originality. The acting was equally muddled with poor diction, and everyone acting in his/her own play."
