See it if Creel's voice is perfect, the music is fun, great lyrics. Very personal, vulnerable, bio musical. Was impressed at the depth. Projections!
Don't see it if though I appreciated the stories and vulnerability, maybe some could say they don't need to know his bio. Almost all singing. Read more

"4/5 Stars! Gavin Creel's many charms are exhibited well in 'Walk on Through: Confessions of a Museum Novice,' his heartfelt new song cycle about the Metropolitan Museum of Art... While occasionally self-indulgent, it's more often endearing, funny and relatable, and makes you yearn for a cast recording...It's a joy to behold fine art through his eyes."
