WORKING - A Musical at Palo Alto Players

I hear America singing. Based on Studs Terkels 1974 best-selling book of interviews with American workers, WORKING paints a vivid musical portrait of the men and women that the world so often takes for granted: the schoolteacher, the waitress, the millworker, the mason and the housewife, just to name a few. Nominated for six Tony Awards, Working has been updated for the modern age and features the stories of 26 average working Americans, set to music by a diverse collection of extraordinary songwriters including Lin-Manuel Miranda (IN THE HEIGHTS, HAMILTON) and Stephen Schwartz (WICKED), as well as Craig Carnelia, Micki Grant, and James Taylor. WORKING is a brilliant, hilarious, and heartwarming examination of the essential worker and a celebration of the unsung heroes of our society.
