| | Both Sides Now
“Two singer-songwriters sit on the edge of a cliff . . . “
With these words, we are drawn into the world of Both Sides Now, a theatrical concert that explores the music and lives of long-time friends and one-time lovers, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. Created by, and starring Robbie Schaefer and Danielle Wertz, the cabaret-style performance travels decades alongside songs such as A Case of You, Hallelujah, Big Yellow Taxi, Suzanne, and many more.
Both Sides Now is at once a piece of the 60’s and 70’s, and of right now--offering us a story about the messiness of being human, of lives persistently lived at the edge of growth, and of finding the courage to turn toward one another, again and again.
Both Sides Now is a touring production

The result: A euphoric 21st-century jazz that honors its historical roots, pushing open the boundaries of genre to invoke a powerful sonic freedom.
For this performance the trio will be joined by award-winning trombonist and composer Naomi Moon Siegel.
