A 24-Decade History of Popular Music: The First Act - T01827214430Joined onstage by a 24-piece orchestra and host of local special guests, New York's Mac has created a Pulitzer Prize-nominated, once-in-a-lifetime, immersive performance in a quest to chronicle how communities grow stronger as they are being torn apart. Charting the years 1776?1806, he asks the audience to conspire with him to reimagine rebellions, revolutions, triumphs and tragedies. Bawdy pub songs, sea shanties and subversive anthems are rearranged as musical mash-ups to take on a chapter of the defining early years of America's history. The New York Times critic has described it as 'one of the greatest experiences of my life' A 24-Decade History of Popular Music: The First Act is part of our 2018 Season, The Art of Change, which explores how artists respond to, reflect and can potentially effect change in the social and political landscape. | |

T1394297482In a rare UK appearance, the flamboyant and vocally gifted New York performer Taylor Mac returns to Soho Theatre for five nights only. While praising Taylor Mac for his ukulele-playing and gender-bending performances, over 20 international publications have, of their own volition, described Mac as, ‘Ziggy Stardust meets Tiny Tim’. Being a queen who can take a hint, he has decided to write and perform an original conversation about the comparison, while singing Tiny Tim songs and David Bowie’s entire Ziggy Stardust album. It promises to be a concert unlike any other.Performer Lance Horne (piano). | |
