We have a few complimentary tickets to Woody Sez - Life and Music of Woody Guthrie - Ashcroft Theatre

Wednesday 30th January - Saturday 2nd February at 7.45pm, and Saturday 2nd February at 2.30pm - Ashcroft Theatre, Fairfield Halls, Croydon, CR9 1DG

About the show:

Woody Sez celebrates the spirit of American folk legend Woody Guthrie, whose music continues to inspire today's finest storytelling songwriters including Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Billy Bragg. Part music, part words, Woody Sez weaves together Guthrie's songs with excerpts from articles he wrote for the leftist newspaper The People's World to create a portrait of a true American hero, a man who would "always be there whenever working folks fight for their rights". Charismatic Broadway and recording artist David Lutken, who plays the title role, is joined by three multi-talented folk musicians to bring Guthrie's music to life with twin fiddles, guitars, bass, harmonica, banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, dobro and beautiful folk harmonies, transporting the audience through the fascinating, and sometimes tragic, life of Woody Guthrie. This show ran in the West End at the Arts Theatre in 2011 and was nominated for an Evening Standard Best Musical Award.
