Polyester and Pearls: A 1970s Songbook
A cabaret-style musical revue featuring 1970s pop hits performed by CU musical theatre students.
CU Boulder’s Musical Theatre students bring fresh energy to the unforgettable pop sound of the 1970s in an intimate, cabaret-style revue inspired by venues like New York’s legendary 54 Below. This one-act performance features songs by Burt Bacharach, the Carpenters, Carole King and other favorite artists. With minimal choreography, sets and costumes, the focus stays on the music and storytelling, creating a warm, easygoing showcase of student talent and timeless songwriting. Since 2019, the College of Music is proud to present a Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre degree. Students of the CU Boulder College of Music Musical Theatre program perform golden-age mainstays, contemporary Broadway hits, cabaret and developing new musicals.
