“Chadwick Stokes' rock opera is a rolling stone that's been gathering momentum all his life – and it's starting to move.”
“A story that echoes into our modern moment with importance and intensity”
“Draws inspiration from the lyrical storytelling of Jesus Christ Superstar, Hadestown and Tommy.”
“Women’s empowerment is at the heart of 1972”
"Rock v. Roe"
ABOUT
When a pregnant Hannah flees an abusive relationship, she finds unexpected camaraderie with three outcasts riding the rails of America, outrunning ghosts of their own. After barely escaping an illegal abortion, she meets the Janes, an underground network of courageous women who risk everything to provide a choice to women with nowhere to turn. Inspired by true stories of these hidden heroes, this world-premiere rock opera fuels the ongoing fight for personal freedom.
1972 is written by musician-activist Chadwick Stokes of the Boston-based indie bands DISPATCH and State Radio with Jessie Nelson (Waitress, I Am Sam).
