“Well-behaved women seldom make history” – Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
If you loved Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill, Barbara and the Camp Dogs, or Robyn Archer: An Australian Songbook, you’ll love this dynamic and empowering musical extravaganza of extraordinary women throughout history.
They’re the women who led the way, who smashed the glass ceilings, and fought for their voices to be heard. Cleopatra to Malala Yousafzai. Frida Kahlo to Cathy Freeman. Mary Magdalene to Virginia Woolf. These women are legends. These women are united in being trailblazers. These women will make you laugh, move you, uplift you, and ignite you.
Following its world premiere at Joe’s Pub, The Public Theater (New York), this musical by Carmel Dean, features the electrifying and charismatic powerhouses, Stefanie Caccamo (Into the Woods), Zahra Newman, Elenoa Rokobaro (Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill), Ursula Yovich (Barabara and the Campdogs). Well-Behaved Women is sure to entertain, inspire, and raise the roof on Belvoir St.
Well-behaved? As if.
You’ll all know Zahra, and her ability to sell a song, after Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill. Those of you who saw Into the Woods will remember Stefanie as Rapunzel. And in a year of returning Belvoir treasures, Ursula is back for her first show since the now-legendary Barbara and the Camp Dogs. Add the voice of Elenoa, the wit of Australian composer Carmel Dean’s songs, and this one is simply guaranteed entertainment. – Eamon
