Review of Absolute Beginners (1986) by Caryn James for The New York Times — 27 Aug 2016
Looking through these layers of time, this flashy, extravagant rock musical, which opens today at the Ziegfeld, elevates style to a symptom and cause of social change. And though it aims for more coherence than it delivers, it has endless flair with no self-importance.
..For all its unevenness, Absolute Beginners is high pop culture.
