MUSIC CITY

Music City is a new musical by Billboard Chart topping country songwriter J.T. Harding, with a book by Peter Zinn. Through soaring, soul piercing ballads and hard hitting, heart thumping showstoppers, we are drawn into a first hand account of the drug epidemic in America and one struggling artist's attempt at overcoming that war to achieve the dream of becoming a successful Nashville singer/songwriter. How is success measured when the journey to stardom is life or death? Can dedication and passion overcome the cycle of poverty?

While celebrating country music, Music City pushes against preconceived notions about the genre. Under the direction of Artistic Director Eric Tucker, Bedlam will bring New York audiences a challenge to the conventional jukebox musicals that have dominated Broadway productions in recent years. In an intimate setting, Tucker will turn the form on its head to present a revelatory, gritty, and thrilling take on the world of beers, sawdust and sunshine.
