“Terrific” – The Guardian
Following its critical success in London’s WEST END, the hit musical Woody Sez heads out on a full UK tour. Woody Sez captures the heart and spirit of America’s original folk hero Woody Guthrie, who paved the way for Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and more. Woody Sez is a soul stirring musical event performed by four amazingly talented actor-musicians performing over 25 of his classic songs (on over 20 live acoustic instruments!). It’s a joyous, toe-tapping and heartfelt musical portrait that uses Woody’s words and songs to transport the audience through his fascinating and sometimes tragic life.
“A Must See” – The List
WOODY SEZ is a joyous, toe-tapping, and moving theatrical concert event that uses Woody’s words, and over 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.
