Summary
With July 31st being National Orgasm Day (that's right, it has its own day), we celebrate by diving into the fascinating, forgotten history of the 1974 musical Let My People Come. This groundbreaking show, by Earl Wilson, Jr., ran for over 1300 performances, offering an all-inclusive, sexually liberated vision for a pre-AIDS 1970s audience. We also explore its uninhibited embrace of pleasure, acceptance for all, and why this audacious production, despite its Grammy-nominated cast recording, famously never "opened" and held the record for the most preview performances ever. Discover the vibrant legacy of a downtown musical that truly embodied the spirit of sexual freedom! --- Theme music created by Blake Stadnik.
