It’s the Economy, Stupid! or The Turning Point

Theater for the New City’s award-winning Street Theater Company opens its 32nd annual tour with It’s the Economy Stupid! or The Turning Point, a rip-roaring musical which will tour City streets, parks and playgrounds throughout the five boroughs. The production, free to all New Yorkers, has book, lyrics and direction by Crystal Field and musical score composed by David Tice. The piece recounts the New Yorkization of the misfit angel Gabriel, who rides earthward on a bad dream to warn the inhabitants that the fate of their planet is in their hands. He must overcome the villainous Electric Man, messenger of the Dark Force, and save the world.
