Neil Young’s Greendale

Neil Young’s Greendale, the rock opera by the legendary singer – songwriter was adapted for the stage by Undermain Theatre and opened in Dallas on March 29, 2008. This song cycle has been compared to Thornton Wilder’s Our Town and Sherwood Anderson’s Winesberg Ohio as a portrait of the changing face of small town America. Performed with a live band and sung by an ensemble cast, Greendale explores the lives of three generations of the Green family through themes ranging from corruption to mass media consolidation to environmentalism.

The production is performed by the original cast and live band composed of lead guitarist Kenny Withrow of New Bohemians. Paul Semrad of Course of Empire on bass, and Grammy winning drummer Alan Emertof Brave Combo.
