Winning American Hearts and Minds
Too Many Songs by Tom Lehrer
|
|
|
|
A cabaret showcase of the works of American singer/songwriter, pianist,
and mathematician of the 1950s and 60s Tom Lehrer. Decades ahead of his
time, yet still an unmistakable product of the inherent absurdities of
the cold war era, his radioactive wit made audiences of the day duck
and cover.
Hunker down for a night of subversive, acerbic and often politically
incorrect lyrics, set to tunes which seem oddly familiar. Welcome to
Too Many Songs by Tom Lehrer, a celebration of an American
counter-culture hero and darling of the college set who helped to
change the minds of a generation.
Starring Alida Rae, Julie Cotterell and Greg Bird
Accompanied by Musical director Sue Porter
“Mr. Lehrer’s muse is not fettered by such inhibiting factors as taste.”
New York Times (1959)
