"...Remember the Age of Aquarius' The Great Beyond Company and the Hudson Theatre proudly tip their hat to that iconic era as they present a world premiere musical, ADVENTURES OF THE GREAT BEYOND, six decades later. A pop-rock musical combining themes of reincarnation, karma, meditation, and life in the ashram, the musical is the result of a collaboration between book writer and lyricist Tom Chiodo and music composer Joe Nedder. ADVENTURES IN THE GREAT BEYOND blends a host of unique and creative perspectives with 13 original songs and a live band."

"...Still, entertaining as it is, Adventures In The Great Beyond comes across more like a minor off-off-Broadway musical from the 1960s than something out of the 2020s, and clocking in at less than eighty minutes, it's both refreshingly short and frustratingly inconsequential compared to the edgier, weightier musicals (think Hadestown, Hamilton, and Hell's Kitchen) that have taken Broadway by storm in the past decade."

"...It’s a particularly wonderful treat to witness the very beginnings of a brand-new musical. Adventures In The Great Beyond is a blissfully naive story of a young college dropout, Virginia, looking for her place in the universe. She takes a late-night bus to anywhere and ends up in the Arizona desert at an ashram and the magical, funny and sweetly moving story unfolds from there."

"...Skimpy on plot but packed with vocal talent, this musical comedy follows an alienated young woman on her bumpy journey of self-discovery. With book, lyrics, and direction by Tom Chiodo and music by Joe Nedder, the show pokes playful fun at New Age beliefs, conventional religion, and mother/daughter relationships. There's little thoughtful analysis, however, and the result is a breezy trifle with at best serviceable tunes and flimsily developed characters, thankfully enhanced by the ensemble's dulcet tones under Nedder's keen musical direction."

"...Getting back to Adventures in the Great Beyond, it’s not exactly Broadway material, however, especially at just under ninety minutes, it’s pleasant enough entertainment. The story is similar to some of the crazy tales I’ve read on Reddit and the like. At least this musical has a happy ending! And there’s even a bit of rope-jumping towards the end, which I loved!"
