"Carolina, or Change": A New Musical

It is America in 1963, with the turmoil of the JFK assassination and the Civil Rights Movement. In a Jewish household in Louisiana, the divorced African-American maid and the 8-year old family son have their own worries and relationship. Virtually sung-through, in styles ranging from Motown to Yiddish Klezmer, "Caroline, or Change" brings together the incredible talents of Kushner ("Angels in America") and Tesori ("Thoroughly Modern Millie") to create a multiple-Tony-nominated show that is about both major issues of the nation and personal issues of the household, and how they interact.
