   Is Kristina a good musical?

   • Jumping from one crisis to another, Kristina may prove not only too epic but too episodic — and far too dour — for a Broadway audience. The age of the serious musicals, your Les Miz and Phantom of the Opera, ended abruptly when The Producers and Mamma Mia! showed that theatergoers preferred perky, gaudy, old-fashioned musical comedies.

   Is Kristina based on a true story?

   • The occasion was the first English-language production of Kristina, a musical based on the four Emigrants novels by Wilhelm Moberg.
