Part jubilant musical performance, part little-known oral history, David Driver’s The Stonewall Jukebox: A Documentary Concert tells the unknown yet uplifting story of how The Stonewall Uprising came to be, and how it impacted contemporary LGBTQ+ culture. Through musical performances interwoven with contemporaneous texts from magazines, books, interviews, and songs actually played at The Stonewall Inn, the show pays homage to the very real people who lived, fought, and survived The Stonewall Uprising, and sheds a light on the social and political climate that paved the way for those remarkable events. Featuring guest singers and narrators like Michael Musto, Stew, Aisha de Haas, Tigger!, Everett Bradley, Machine Dazzle, and many more. The fascinating tale is told through both the music of artists like Sly & the Family Stone, Judy Garland, The Flirtations, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Petula Clark, Frank Sinatra, Shirley Bassey, Lesley Gore, and The Beatles and the texts themselves.
