WORKING the MUSICAL is a down-to-earth, yet elevating musical that features songs based on real interviews with several of Americana’s work force with music by James Taylor, Craig Carnelia, Mary Rodgers, Micki Grant and Stephen Schwartz. The characters sing and dance and talk about their jobs, defining not only their daily routines, but their hopes and aspirations as well. This artful examination of people from all walks of life proves that it is more than just a job for the average working American.
