Life Review

A Musical About Listening, Presence, and Being Heard

Life Review: The Hospice Musical is a new musical celebrating life, love, and loss through three seasons at a residential hospice. Created by Ben Kintisch from real patient stories gathered over a decade of chaplaincy, it has been called a cross between Fiddler on the Roof and A Chorus Line.

Each patient sings their story — a proud mother remembering snow, a brave young man wondering what’s to come, an older man looking for one last friend, and a man of God singing praises. Filled with compassion, warmth, and humor, this is theater that reminds us: even at the end, there is so much life.

The May 9 performance features five Peabody Conservatory musicians on violin, cello, clarinet, flute, and piano, plus five professional Baltimore vocalists performing the piece for a full live album recording.
