Pussy Riot To Stage World Premiere For New Show At Crocodile In March

Pussy Riot, the Russian feminist punk band/music collective/activist group has created a new music theater piece called “Revolution” and they’re taking it on tour this winter/spring. It will be an autobiographical work detailing their formation and history as a band of musicians and political activists frequently clashing with the problematic regime of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. That in itself would be pretty awesome but to make it even better, Pussy Riot will stage the world premiere of Revolution here in Seattle on Wednesday, March 8, 2017 at The Crocodile in the Belltown neighborhood. It’s an all-ages show with ticket prices at a reasonable $25 (grab them here; it’s likely this will sell out so don’t dawdle).

Here’s some more info on the show:
