Previews of Neil Young's Greendale

  • When: Wednesday, March 26, 2008, 7:30 p.m.
  • Where: Undermain Theatre, 3200 Main Street, Dallas
  • Cost: $15 - $20
  • Age limit: Not available

Undermain Theatre, through special arrangement with Wixen Music Publishing, is pleased to announce the theatrical premiere of Neil Young’s Greendale. The rock opera by the legendary singer/songwriter will be adapted for the stage by Undermain Theatre from March 29 - May 3, 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.

The cast is Bruce DuBose, Marjorie Hayes, Richard Rollin, Stefanie Tovar, Ian Sinclair, Kristen Campbell, Jonathan Brooks, Regina Yunker, and Newton Pittman.

The live band for Undermain’s upcoming production of Neil Young’s Greendale will be composed of legendary musicians of the Deep Ellum music scene. Leading the way as Music Director and lead guitarist is Kenny Withrow of New Bohemians. Paul Semrad of Course of Empire will perform on bass guitar. Joining the band on drums is two time Grammy award winner Alan Emert, of Brave Combo.

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.

Greendale was released in 2003 as an album (voted one of the best albums of 2003 by Rolling Stone Magazine), a film, and a rock tour. It is soon to be published as a graphic novel and this spring it will be produced as a rock opera with an incredible live band premiering at Undermain.

Previews from March 26-28 for $15-20 and then officially opens on March 29. Purchase tickets online or by calling 214-747-5515.
