Working

Seattle Musical Theatre
7120 62nd Ave NE Seattle

In 1974, oral historian Studs Terkel published Working, a groundbreaking book of interviews with hard-working Americans. An unlikely candidate for Broadway, the musical adaptation quickly became a smash hit. With an updated score composed by such luminaries as Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin), pop star James Taylor and Lin Manuel-Miranda (Hamilton), this entertaining Tony-nominated musical is based on Terkel's first-person interviews. The show shines a revealing spotlight on the lives of laborers like millworkers, waitresses, teachers and more, and is performed here at the Seattle Musical Theatre.
