Now onstage at PACNYC’s Perelman Performing Arts Center, *Lambkin* is a musical that uses song to examine family ties and the stories people inherit and resist. It moves between intimate scenes and broader community pressure, treating private decisions as public facts. If this engagement marks its NYC premiere, it lands in a city where new musicals are often tested against contemporary anxieties about belonging and identity. The piece’s restraint lets its themes register without being overexplained.
