Bark of Millions

The sublimely freaky Taylor Mac (A 24-Decade History of Popular Music) is a Fabergé radical—beautiful, ridiculous and full of hidden tricks—who pilots audiences through fantastical journeys, guided by the compass of his magnetic individuality. This newest big Mac specacle—described as "part rock opera, part reimagined pride parade"—includes 55 original songs (with music by Matt Ray) to mark each year since Stonewall. Niegel Smith and choreographer Faye Driscoll share directing duties with Mac; the outrageously maximalist costumes, as always, are by Machine Dazzle.
