Musical Aesthetic: Swept Away

I’m sorry I have to be the theatre person I am deep in my soul for a moment.

Swept Away on Broadway closing after a month isn’t startling so much as just completely gutting. Broadway hasn’t been the innovator it once was in many, many years. Rent prices are obviously tough in New York, especially the theaters. Sometimes, it feels like the best stuff won’t ever break through in this climate.

We know Broadway theater in New York is very much a tourist’s market, but it pains me to watch incredible shows like Swept Away fall victim to this phenomenon because it really is THAT good. With a score by the Avett Brothers and performances by the best of the best (John Gallagher Jr., Stark Sands, Adrian Enscoe, etc.), Swept Away offered a bright light of hope and redemption in a tense political and cultural climate. I saw it in previews just a few weeks ago, and it was one of the few times a Broadway show broke through to me, a cynical ex-actor, singer, and performer, in a powerful, memorable way. The only other times I’ve ever felt that was seeing Wicked at 14-years-old and Sondheim’s last musical at The Shed in January.

In other words: Life altering stuff.

So, I say all this because I’m sad to see such a powerhouse of talent and storytelling go the way most truly great, niche things on Broadway go. Swept Away, along with so many other one month runs, deserved better. Also, I’ll cross my fingers for a national tour, simply because I know the demand would be there regionally, as a North Carolina-bred fan of The Avett Brothers.

If you’re in New York in the next week and a half, you should try and go see it. You won’t regret it.

“Have you told them our story? There’s no peace until you speak the words. No peace for you or for us. We cannot escape. We cannot move on until you tell our story.”

It has been so incredible to get to see the cast of Swept Away tell this story over the past couple of months. It’s not often that a show brings me such an insane amount of joy watching it and Swept Away was one of those shows. Although its time on Broadway was short, I know it’ll share a special place in the hearts of me and so many other Avett Sailors. Here’s to one last sunrise.
