The Stonewall Jukebox: A Documentary Concert at City Winery

Part jubilant musical performance, part little-known oral history, David Driver’s The Stonewall Jukebox: A Documentary Concert tells the unknown and profoundly uplifting story of how The Stonewall Uprising came to be, and how it impacted contemporary LGBTQ+ culture. Through musical performances interwoven with contemporaneous texts pulled from magazines, books, interviews, and songs that were played at The Stonewall Inn, the show pays homage to the very real people who lived, fought, and survived The Stonewall Riots, and sheds a light on the social and political climate that paved the way for those remarkable events. Joining Driver on stage are guest singers and narrators like Michael Musto, Stew (Passing Strange, The Negro Problem), queer burlesque legend Tigger!, Everett Bradley (Bon Jovi, Springsteen), beloved downtown NYC icon Machine Dazzle (Taylor Mac), Broadway's Aisha de Haas, and many more, whose diversity reflects the fierce demographics of The Stonewall Inn circa 1969. The fascinating tale is told as much through the music of artists like Sly & the Family Stone, Judy Garland, The Flirtations, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Petula Clark, Frank Sinatra, Shirley Bassey, Lesley Gore, and The Beatles as through the texts themselves.
