The Cradle Will Rock

John Doyle closes CSC's season with a revival of Marc Blitzstein’s incendiary 1937 allegory of corporate greed, in which a trusty man named Foreman tries to organize a union in the face of the moneybags-lugging fat cat Mr. Mister. The show is now more famous for its defiant original production, which was depicted in a 1999 film, but its anticapitalist cabaret may resonate with modern ears. Tony Yazbeck, Lara Pulver and David Garrison head the cast, which also includes (among others) Ken Barnett, Benjamin Eakeley, Rema Webb and Sally Ann Triplett.
