The Argus Angel Award-winning hit WOODY SEZ – The Words, Music & Spirit of Woody Guthrie, the brainchild of Broadway veteran, storyteller and guitar legend David Lutken, will play three weeks of performances at the Knight Theater February 2 – 21, 2010.
Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased online at BlumenthalCenter.org, by phone at 704-372-1000, or from the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center Box Office located in the Tryon Street lobby of the Belk Theater.
WOODY SEZ celebrates the spirit of American folk legend Woody Guthrie, “America’s greatest ballad maker.” Part music, part words, WOODY SEZ weaves together Guthrie’s songs with excerpts from articles he wrote for the leftist newspaper The People’s World to create a portrait of a true American hero, a man who would “always be there whenever working folks fight for their rights.”
WOODY SEZ is a joyous, toe-tapping, and moving theatrical concert event that uses Woody's words, and more than twenty-five of Woody's songs to transport the audience through the fascinating, beautiful, and sometimes tragic life of Woody Guthrie. Performed by a talented group of four versatile actor/musicians who not only play 15 instruments ranging from guitar and fiddle to jaw harp and dulcimer, but they also bring to life the many people who are the fabric of Woody Guthrie's amazing story. The combination of the cast's infectious enjoyment, Woody's incredible journey, and a stirring mix of moving ballads and energetic foot-stompers make this a must see. Woody Guthrie gave voice to the beauty and struggles of the common man and WOODY SEZ gives the same to the spirit of the man himself. For more information, please visit www.WoodySez.com.
