The show concerns the repressed residents of an unnamed American town in the 1950s who experience an awakening when a leather-clad guitar-strumming roustabout rolls into town. The story takes inspiration from the comedies of William Shakespeare, particularly Twelfth Night, and explores themes such as authoritarianism, homosexuality, and segregation.
The musical premiered on Broadway in 2005.
