Watch the video: | | Some performances already sold out for Prometheus Bound New rock musical An outcry against tyranny, Prometheus Bound illustrates the struggle against the brute force of a ruthless dictator.
Written by Tony and Grammy Award-winning playwright and lyricist Steven Sater (Spring Awakening), with music by Grammy Award-winning System of a Down lead singer Serj Tankian, featuring two-time Tony nominee Gavin Creel and Lea DeLaria.
A.R.T. Artistic Director Diane Paulus stages this world premiere production in OBERON, immersing the audience in an environment that has the Dionysian energy and rebelliousness of a rock concert. Acclaim from audience members:
"PHENOMENAL. I just got back and I still have chills." - Dylan H.
"Not only is it rock, but it is jazz, and blues, and even a touch of rap. The lyrics are beautifully written, and the music is composed perfectly. I had my expectations set, and it blew them away. Truly an amazing show. Must see ." - Barry Andrew P.
" Honest. Raw. Passionate. " - Robin C.
"It was a rousing call to arms against injustice . Please go see this show." @jonsinger (via Twitter)
