The world's first beat poetry musical Subway Train arrives in New York
City on February, 4 2004
Subway Train, a theatrical invention about risk, hope, and life on the train, will be presented by The Liilaa Company for a staged reading at the Bowery Poetry Club.
Subway Train is a peek into the life and minds of three young poets told through poetry, music, acting, and imagination. The script is comprised of the writers' journal entries that capture private observations and feelings experienced while riding the train. Griff Foxely from getunderground.com says, "Subway Train puts a stethoscope to the pulse of the bustling masses and uncovers emotional landscapes not readily available in the everyday."
With an original concept by Joshua Kobak, this exciting hip new musical was written by The Liilaa Company with book and lyrics by Joshua Kobak, Katy Pfaffl, and Mickey Fisher, and music by Sean Dixon, Danton Boller, Pfaffl, Kobak, and Fisher.
The cast of three poets are portrayed by Joshua Kobak, Katy Pfaffl, and Mickey Fisher, with Yassmin Alers as the train conductor. The band is comprised of Sean Dixon on drums, Danton Boller on upright bass, and Matt Caplan on guitar.
Don't miss this train. There will be two performances at 8:00pm and 10:30pm on February 4 at the Bowery Poetry Club, 308 Bowery (between Bleecker and Houston, across from CBGB's). Take the F or V train to 2nd Avenue, or the 6 train to Bleecker Street.
