"Musical with a difference! One word ...WE! by Ian McCarthy During this coming January's Sydney Festival trade unionists will have the chance of seeing an exceptional musical based around the life of the legendary American folk singer Pete Seeger. Seeger's art has been an inspiration to generations of American workers as they have battled for their civil rights in a society not renowned for its compassion for the underdog. Australian musician Maurie Mulheron first created his stage show One word ...WE! in 1995 and now it returns by popular demand for a three week season at the New Theatre, Newtown. Playing during its premiere season to packed houses and standing ovations, One word ...WE! is a musical biography of Seeger (who recently turned 80). Once the most boycotted and banned singer in US history Seeger wrote such hits as Guantanamera, If I Had a hammer, Where Have All the Flowers Gone?, Wimoweh and has had his songs recorded by such greats as Peter, Paul and Mary, Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Joan Baez and Aretha Franklin among many others. One word ...WE!"
