The Cradle Will Rock

About the Show

The Cradle Will Rock — featuring book, music and lyrics by Marc Blitzstein — is a famous 1937 “labor opera” that uses hilarious parody and satire to expose the desperation and discontentment of its time. As union-organizers gain strength, steel magnate Mr. Mister bribes businessmen, clergy and local press to silence the voice of exploited workers.
