Working, A Musical

Behind every job there’s a story to tell, even right here in Kalamazoo! We are honored to present a new, visionary version of the beloved musical Working. Painting a vivid portrait of the men and women that the world so often takes for granted, this classic musical was nominated for six Tony Awards during its original Broadway run. Now updated for the modern age, it features new songs by Tony Award-winning composer and lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda, as well as favorites by Stephen Schwartz, Craig Carnelia, and James Taylor.

Working is enhanced with stories from workers right here in Kalamazoo! Hear the experience of ten members of our community including local builder Ben Bierlein, Kalamazoo Central Principal Valerie Boggan, OutFront Kalamazoo Director of Programs Michael Cleggs, Michigan News Agency owner Dean Hauck, Bronson Methodist Hospital nurse Eva Heldt, and more. This will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience you can only see at the intimate Farmers Alley Theatre.
