Ubu Rock
Ubu Rock is an American musical by composer/lyricist Rusty Magee, with a book by Andrei Belgrader, and Shelley Berc, based on Alfred Jarry's controversial 1896 French play Ubu Roi. It had its world premiere on June 2, 1995〔https://books.google.com/books?id=qmSpZhZ7tW4C&pg=PA127&lpg=PA127&dq=ubu+rock+world+premiere&source=bl&ots=jhFUcHgxI2&sig=_8PfV_2mbNwatZE2MtC2lYXJ9BE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CB4Q6AEwAGoVChMIkvXFp5btyAIVTftjCh0sNAPa#v=onepage&q=ubu%20rock%20world%20premiere&f=false〕 at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, MA. It ran through July 16, 1995〔http://americanrepertorytheater.org/events/show/ubu-rock〕 and then again from March 13 to March 23, 1996.〔http://americanrepertorytheater.org/events/show/ubu-rock-return-engagement〕
==Plot and Production==
At the urging of Ma Ubu, Pa Ubu seizes power by deposing the royal family of Poland. When the Polish population revolts against the Ubus' kakistocracy, Ma and Pa must flee to America.
The show, in honor of Ubu Roi's controversial first word ("merdre"), the show began with an uptempo vocal jazz song, sung by the chorus, with just one lyric: "Shit." 〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ordEr7C-9M〕
During a war scene, the show featured a lengthy "Button Song," in which General Lasky, head of the Polish Infantry, insisted that his troops sing a military cadence involving an increasingly large number of buttons on his jacket.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ_orTS7Tlk〕 During the American Repertory Theater production run, audience members routinely threw prograns, bottles of water, food, and other items at the actors during this scene (angering Lasky and leading him to restart at one button).〔http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-8334283.html〕
