Performances are underway for Revolution(s), the all-new punk/metal/hip-hop musical by Tom Morello and Zayd Ayers Dohrn, at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago. Read the reviews below!
The all-new punk/metal/hip-hop musical Revolution(s)—created by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Tom Morello and Chicago’s Zayd Ayers Dohrn—has added six performances in a second extension in The Goodman's 350-seat flexible Owen Theatre.
Revolution(s) is a well-designed, fast-paced, and adrenaline-fueled production with outstanding music. Fans of Tom Morello will love his frenetic and hard-hitting score. Director Steve Broadnax fills his production with believable performances and riveting vocals from an immensely talented cast. Zayn Ayers Dohrn’s book misses connecting the audience to his character’s motivations. But his narrative does have a definitive message that is unmistakable - do whatever it takes to raise a voice against racism and injustice.
REVOLUTION(S) is truly unlike any other show I’ve seen at the Goodman. While I think the material still has some rough edges, that’s fitting of the subject matter. The themes introduced here aren’t neat and tidy, so the material shouldn’t be, either. This musical has a pulsing, urgent energy that is extremely well-matched by Tom Morello’s music and lyrics.
The all-new punk/metal/hip-hop musical Revolution(s)—created by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Tom Morello and Chicago’s Zayd Ayers Dohrn —opens to a full house tonight in the 350-seat flexible Owen Theatre and has added eight performances. Learn more!
