Working

Bristol Riverside Theatre
120 Radcliffe Street Bristol

In 1974, oral historian Studs Terkel published Working, a groundbreaking book of interviews with hard-working Americans. An unlikely candidate for Broadway, the musical adaptation quickly became a smash hit. With an updated score composed by such luminaries as Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin), pop star James Taylor and Lin Manuel-Miranda (Hamilton), this entertaining Tony-nominated musical based on Terkel's first-person interviews looks for the meaning and satisfaction in everyday life. This rendition at Bristol Riverside Theatre shines a revealing spotlight on the lives of laborers like millworkers, waitresses, teachers and more.
