WORKING

She Loves Me
August 10 - 25, 2007
Book by Nina Faso and Stephen Schwartz
Lyrics by Craig Carnelia, James Taylor, Micki Grant, Stephen Schwartz, Susan Birkenhead
Music by Craig Carnelia, James Taylor, Mary Rodgers, Micki Grant, Stephen Schwartz
Based on Working by Studs Terkel
Working is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).

Directed by Tony Rust

Based on Studs Terkel's best-selling book of interviews with American Workers, Working paints a vivid portrait of the men and women the world so often takes for granted: the schoolteacher, the phone operator, the waitress, the millworker, the mason, and the housewife, just to name a few. Nominated for 6 TONY Awards, this classic has been updated for a modern age featuring new songs by TONY Award-winning Lin-Manuel Miranda, as well as favorites by Stephen Schwartz, Craig Carnelia, and James Taylor.
