Alexander Broussard – The Songbook Sessies: Echoes from the Sixties
At Echoes from the Sixties, part of the musical theatre series The Songbook Sessies, Theater Ludens in The Hague is all about an extraordinary decade. Singer and pianist Alexander Broussard guides audiences through the musical highlights of the 1960s, weaving in the stories behind the songs.
The 1960s left an indelible mark on popular culture. Social upheaval, artistic reinvention and an explosion of musical styles all went hand in hand. Alexander Broussard takes that decade year by year, showing how the songs of the time were more than hits: they were commentary on the world around them. Upbeat numbers alternate with striking ballads, and Broussard connects them with anecdotes that put everything in context.
