"I came back to save rock 'n' roll..."
Tom Stoppard & New York City--how can one's day get any better? Phenomenal play coupled with phenomenal music in good ol' New York Town. I had never read, let alone seen a play incorporate music as Rock 'N' Roll did. Stoppard is pretty specific throughout his masterpiece as to what songs should be used during blackouts. Each song emphasizing the scene that preceded it. I was going to scour through the play for a playlist of songs, but the playbill from the show saved me the trouble. There are a few differences, but they're minor. Now without further delay...
