Review:
Post No Bills: The Songs of Joshua H. Cohen, directed by MK Lawson and performed by six recent NYU grads, is full of smart lyrics and engaging melodies. Songs about love and feelings, mating and dating, hit the DNA of everyone, including old guys like me.
Cohen's lyrics hit the brain as well; they are cleverer than most of what I've heard in years, and it's a real pleasure to experience smarts (and original melodies) of this level. Songs like "Everybody's Perfect but Me" show Cohen to be a major talent. Someone should shape this great stuff into a show with a book and put it on Broadway.
