This is a Lyrics & Lyricists show celebrating the music of singer-songwriter and activist Joan Baez, the "Queen of Folk," whose songs of protest and social justice became the soundtrack to an era in the 1960s. Broadway's Andréa Burns leads the show, performing Baez's originals, traditional folk, and covers like "Diamonds and Rust," "House of the Rising Sun," and "We Shall Overcome." It was written by Karen Zacarías, directed by Peter Flynn, with Steve Marzullo as music director, and features Steph Amoroso, Cal Mitchell, and special guest Terrence Mann. Baez gave her very first performance on this stage in 1960, and the show introduces the songwriting of an unknown Bob Dylan to the mainstream among her many influences.
