WORKING a musical - Friday 16 July 2010
New York Times says:
''WORKING'' is a musical about people who are never in musicals. The hard hats, cleaning women, parking lot attendants and bricklayers portrayed in this sweet-tempered revue are propelled from the chorus line of life into unlikely leading roles. The trucker on a long haul, the operator on a short break, the waitress on a circuit of the dining room: all get the chance in this show to exercise their inalienable right to life and liberty.
It's an unashamed celebration of the common man, as wholesome as a Labor Day picnic. Based on Studs Terkel's identically titled book, a compilation of verbatim interviews with dozens of workers about their daily toils, this musical spreads the message through song that virtually everyone takes pride on the job and deserves a little respect for it. Music is by Stephen Schwartz (of WICKED fame) James Taylor and others, this is an incredibly entertaining show that will have your toes tapping and your energy inspired!
3 big Men Productions proudly present with beyondblue a unique experience for audience members of all ages.
