Tumbleweed Connection is a musical that tells a story largely made up by the songs contained on Elton John's Tumbleweed Connection album. The musical opened to the public on October 19th, 2007 at the Clark Center of Performing Arts in Arroyo Grande, California. Incorporating dance, songs written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, and original dialog by playwright Christopher Kahn, Tumbleweed Connection is set at the dawn of the twentieth century. The play centers on two brothers, a family secret, and the pressures of the era, including looming war.
Famous quotes containing the word connection:
“The Transcendentalist adopts the whole connection of spiritual doctrine. He believes in miracle, in the perpetual openness of the human mind to new influx of light and power; he believes in inspiration, and in ecstacy.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
