Dude (musical)
''Dude (The Highway Life)'' is a rock musical with a book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and music by Galt MacDermot. It is an allegory about good and evil, the conflict between mankind's creative and destructive urges, the power of love, and the joy to be found in simple pleasures. Dude is an Everyman who loses his innocence and fights to regain it.
==Background==
As soon as the musical ''Hair'' opened, Ragni began to work on ''Dude''. MacDermot was busy with ''Two Gentlemen of Verona'' but finally began to compose the music. In March 1972, their studio cast album, ''Salome Bey Sings Songs from Dude'', was recorded and released on Kilmarnock Records. The music was more influenced by country music than their previous musical, ''Hair''.〔(Information from Allmusic )〕
The rehearsal period was plagued with problems: Kevin Geer, the actor who had been cast in the leading role, Dude, was unable to sing the role acceptably and had to be replaced; the script (such as it was) was far from finished; Ragni's requests of the producers were bizarre (for example, 100 butterflies to be released at the beginning of each performance); and the cast threatened to walk out.〔(Bosworth, Patricia. "Dude - An $800,000 Disaster. Where Did They Go Wrong?", ''The New York Times'' - October 22, 1972 )〕
