People Are Wrong! A Rock Musical in Concert

Show Description

"These songs get my high compliments: I'd rip them onto iTunes if I could." - The New York Sun

Returning to Joe's Pub where it all began, don't miss a one-night-only special concert version of People Are Wrong! as the cast prepares to record a long-awaited album version. In the grand tradition of early 70's rock concept musicals (Hair, Tommy), PAW ! is a manic and joyful celebration of melody and musical fable. This cautionary tale of a charismatic cult leader masquerading as a landscape artist in a rural upstate town is told entirely in song: part Jesus Christ Superstar, part Green Acres. Produced by GRAMMY winner and one half of They Might Be Giants, John Flansburgh, and starring the brilliant downtown chanteur David Driver, People are Wrong! introduces the song-writing talents of Julia Greenberg and Robin Goldwasser, joining forces with Joe McGinty and members of the Loser's Lounge band. "The buoyant and varied score, by Julia Greenberg and Robin Goldwasser (Flansburgh's real-life wife), tells its tale in a catchy array of genres, from alt-country to 1980s stadium anthem." - Newsday
