Pins and Needles

For the first show of its inaugural season, Mercury Theater presents, “Pins and Needles,” an unjustly forgotten piece of musical theater history that speaks powerfully to the present day.

“Pins and Needles,” is a musical revue by composer Harold Rome and a crew of Depression Era scribes first performed by members of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union in 1937.

With a modern day cast of 10, the theater has culled the best songs and sketches from the revue’s ever-changing four-year Broadway run. These include songs like “Doin’ the Reactionary,””It’s Better with a Union Man,” “Sitting on Your Status Quo,” “One Big Union for Two,” and “Call it Unamerican.”
