Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: The big "Bang" of a gunshot is the first sound you hear in the beguiling musical "POP!" at City Theatre, followed quickly by a tentative "Ouch" as the lights come up, revealing an easily identifiable Andy Warhol topped by an unkempt white wig.
Just like that, we are transported to 1968, to the moment the real-life Warhol was the victim of a near-fatal shooting. That's what history tells us. What librettist/lyricist Maggie-Kate Coleman and composer Anna K. Jacobs have in store is quite another story.
