he rock opera Bark of Millions is an incomparable celebration of queerness, and here from its award-winning creators Taylor Mac and Matt Ray is the experience in book form, including lyrics and music for 50 of the show's songs
Bark of Millions the show is an electrifying collision of performance, live music, and drag spectacle in a four-hour rock opera celebration of queerness. The show features 55 original songs by theater masterminds Taylor Mac, a MacArthur Fellow, Ibsen Award winner, and Pulitzer Prize finalist, and Matt Ray, Obie Award-winning composer. "Why 55? It's one for every year following Stonewall." The songs are performed by a powerhouse collective of 23 international artists. With the fierce elation of a pride parade, Bark of Millions is a luxuriant, provocative spectacle unlike any other.
Bark of Millions the book is an expression and extension of this transportive experience. It's for the queer community and for theater obsessives and musicians and performers. Included in the box set are a book of lyrics and a book of music lead sheets for 50 of the songs.
Taylor Mac, Matt Ray
