Woody Sez is a story of survival, passionate belief, timeless music, and the flawed and fated trail of a singular and determined American poet.
In January 2009 at the inauguration of Barack Obama, Pete Seeger joyfully led a crowd of hundreds of thousands in singing "This Land Is Your Land". The spirit of that song's writer, American Folk legend Woody Guthrie is celebrated in the new musical, Woody Sez.
Guthrie's music lives on and continues to inspire. The hundreds of musicians who acknowledge their debt to the man who performed with the slogan "This machine kills fascists" emblazoned on his guitar include the mighty Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash and our own Billy Bragg.
Weaving together Guthrie's enduring words and songs, Woody Sez paints a powerful portrait of this revered cult figure's fascinating and often tragic life. Considered the Godfather of American folk music, Guthrie was an altogether original protest singer, fighting for and lifting up the spirits of people beaten down by the hardships of The Great Depression.
