From the playwrite/copmposer:
"Why hello there! Nice of you to drop by. I had something I wanted to share with you. A story, about a life. My life, actually. But it could be about anyone's life really. Why I'd be willing to bet you'll find parts of it similar to things you've gone through or perhaps even going through right now."
Those are the opening lines to the show. In just forty-two seconds, the main character connects with each member of the audience in a deep and personal way. From that point on it is impossible not to be captivated by each and every twist and turn as the story unfolds.
After the opening monolog, the first song, "Rivers Rocks and Rain" will open your eyes and ears to a sampling of what is to come: an evening of powerful music that punctuates and enhances each moment as the night goes on. It's a cascade of musical styles that perfectly intertwines with a story that is infinitely relatable to anyone and everyone.
Audiences are clapping, dancing, laughing, and singing throughout the show. Most will cry with tears of compassion and joy as the story nears the end. When you walk out of the theater you will feel uplifted and hopeful as you head home still singing the songs.
That is my promise to you.
Synopsis
"Man on the Hill is a fable-opus rock-opera: a musical work that tells a story through narration and song.
The main character is an old man sitting in his living room reflecting back on his life. As he shares his stories, each major event or turning point is punctuated with a song. Forever in a quest for love and living a simple life, he struggles with heartbreak, finds companionship with a dog, tries to find his place in a discordant society, meets his soul mate, and retires on a hillside near the ocean.
Just like the story is filled with twists and turns, the music is a journey as well. It's a delightful mix of folk, rock, jazz, country, and heartwarming ballads. Your ears, your mind, and your heart will be enriched when you treat yourself to seeing "The Man on the Hill."
