HARD TRAVELIN’ WITH WOODY began its international tour soon
after it became a critical and box office hit at its premiere at The New York
International Fringe Festival in 2011. Randy
Noojin channels folk singer/activist Woody Guthrie, as Woody plays for a union
meeting of striking mine workers. The
show is packed with Woody’s wit and humor, over a dozen of his greatest songs,
and projections of his astonishing and rarely seen artworks. Guthrie’s views on income
inequality, police brutality and the conditions facing migrant workers
resonate with an urgency that is remarkably relevant today.
“Captures
the spirit of Woody…solid, entertaining work that should travel far and wide in
these hard times, just like Guthrie himself.”
HUFFINGTON POST
“By equating
the conditions of Depression-era America with those of today, writer-performer
Randy Noojin invests his one man show about Woody Guthrie, with topicality and
urgency, rescuing it from mere homage and transforming it into a call for
united action against greed…Blows the dust off such Guthrie standards as ‘Bound
for Glory’ and ‘This Land is Your Land,’ restoring their intended sting and
deepening their soulfulness.” BACKSTAGE.COM
“A constant
delight…jokes, puns and verbal plays make the spoken sections a pleasure to
listen to but what is more of a pleasure is getting to hear Woody’s songs. This is a great show for Guthrie fans and for
those hearing these songs and stories for the first time.” NYTHEATRE.COM
