Description: Book by Stephen Schwartz and Nina Faso Music by Stephen Schwartz and Micki Grant and Craig Carnelia and Mary Rodgers and James Taylor Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and Micki Grant and Craig Carnelia and James Taylor and Susan Birkenhead The hopes, dreams, joys and concerns of the average working American are the focus of this unique, extraordinary musical. The everyday lives of ìcommonî men and women are so compelling and moving they surprise and inspire anyone who has ever punched a time clock. Based on Studs Terkelís best-selling book of interviews with American workers, Working paints a vivid portrait of the men and women the world so often takes for granted: the schoolteacher, the parking lot attendant, the waitress, the millworker, the mason, the trucker, the fireman, the housewife, just to name a few. Itís a highly original look at the American landscape thatís simply impossible to forget.
