It’s a face of life that there are periods where everything old is new again. There may be no better example of this in the arts than Broadway.Old productions are always being brought back. Take West Side Story, for example. After first premiering in 1957, it was brought back in 1960, 1964, 1980, 2009, and 2020. The Gershwin musical Porgy and Bess has been revived at least seven times.Movies are always being rebooted: Ghostbusters, Planet of the Apes, King Kong (enough, already!), Robocop, Willy Wonka, Halloween, Spider-Man. A Star is Born first appeared in 1937 and was remade in 1954, 1976 and 2018.Then there are all the TV remakes: MacGyver, 90210, Dynasty, Lost in Space, Roseanne, Twin Peaks, Star Trek.This brings us to musical reboots, scenes and sounds that are brought back by people who are sometimes generations removed from when this style of music first appeared.Maybe it starts with people who stumble on some old records. O maybe they independently discovered sounds and styles that they thought were brand new.Whatever the cause or source, music is constantly being recycled and renewed, which is what we’re looking at with this series of show.
