A New Musical Comedy!This 1996 Jim Henson Award winner for Projects Related to Puppetry and 1997 American College Theatre Festival Artistic Achievement Award (Playscript) musical takes the classic Greek tragedy out of the Mediterranean and into the backwoods of West Virginia. Experience tunes like “The Need a Man Blues,” “Safety Orange,” “Moonpies & RC Cola,” and “The Fertility Song” as Oedipus (Eddie) and Jocasta (Jo) navigate incestuous relationships, constipated jackasses, and psychic oracles. Kicking the classic tragedy’s grim ending to the curb, this musical offers Eddie and Jo a delightfully unexpected conclusion.
