Studs Terkel’s Working (Broadway Theatre Archive)
Author: Music Lover // Category: Musicals on DVD
This musical adaptation of the Studs Terkel book examines the average worker’s viewpoint–showing that he or she is anything but average. Based on a series of interviews with real working people–construction workers, waitresses, firemen, secretaries and cleaning women–”Working” is both an exploration of the individuals’ occupations and a lament for lost hopes and dreams. This musical adaptation was conceived by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin). A must for all musical theatre buffs.
