PURCHASE TICKETS The Surreal Housewives of Woodstock is a unique, poetic 15-song production that simultaneously celebrates and satirizes the legendary bohemian culture of Woodstock, New York. The performance represents a rare artistic collaboration between Shear, who composed the music, and the legendary activist and poet Ed Sanders of The Fugs, who penned the lyrics. Moving seamlessly between lighthearted, witty snapshots and portraits of deeper social commentary, the production introduces audiences to a series of catchy songs based on the town’s vibrant archetypes. Featured songs in the lineup include “Anger Management Annie,” “Too Many Causes Tara,” “Pot Farm Pam,” and the satirical centerpiece, “The Great Dust-Up at the Vegancue (The Vegan Barbecue).” Through this playful musical journey, attendees will get up close and personal with the quirky, unforgettable personalities that reside in America’s most famous arts community.
