TUCK EVERLASTING MOVIE REVIEW CRACKED
She discovers that they’re a loving, close-knit clan - a century or so of togetherness will have that effect - but that immortality is not all it’s cracked up to be. Fearful that their secret will be revealed, the Tucks take Winnie away with them. Of course, those ages aren’t exactly accurate, since nearly a century earlier the Tucks discovered that the water in the spring has magical properties bestowing everlasting life. Although the show, which premiered last year at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre, boasts solid production values and professionalism thanks to director-choreographer Casey Nicholaw and a cast filled with Broadway veterans, it’s likely destined for an all-too-finite life on the Great White Way. The story of an 11-year-old girl encountering a family in the woods who seem perfectly normal except that they’re immortal, Tuck Everlasting is a sweet concoction that feels in over its head amidst the flashier delights of Wicked and Matilda, among many others.
A new musical adapted from Natalie Babbitt’s 1975 fantasy novel (which became a 2002 Disney film) is the latest show to arrive on Broadway under the assumption that the appetite for theatrical fare geared to children and their well-heeled parents is limitless.
