REVOLUTION IN THE ELBOW... is directed by Bergur Ingólfsson, with choreography byLee Proud and music direction by award-winning Icelandic Indie rock musician Stefán Örn Gunnlaugsson.
The heart of REVOLUTION IN THE ELBOW... lies in its songs, which were written over the course of several years by Ívar Páll Jónsson - a gifted Icelandic songwriter who pursued fronting a rock band several years ago and released an album, but felt confined in the spotlight. He worked as a journalist but kept writing songs, and ultimately, with the encouragement of his younger brother Gunnlaugur, found his comfort zone behind the curtain. He wrote the entire score and, with his brother, the book for the musical.
The songs, which can be heard on the musical's new concept recording, evoke influences from David Bowie, Radiohead, Grizzly Bear, the Pixies, Sufjan Stevens, and more. The album is performed by singers from an array of Icelandic bands, as well as Liam McCormick from The Family Crest.
The remaining five performances for REVOLUTION IN THE ELBOW... are tonight through Friday at 8 PM and Saturday at 2 & 8 PM at the Minetta Lane Theatre, 18 Minetta Lane (just a few steps from Sixth Ave., one block south of W. 3rd St.)
Tickets are available by calling Ticketmaster 800-745-3000 or through www.RevolutionElbow.com.
