Co-Book by Hunter Bird & Angela Sclafani Music and Lyrics by Angela Sclafani The Voyager 1 spacecraft is the farthest man-made object from Earth, and its final mission is to carry The Golden Record: a double-sided metallic record that contains all of human and Earth's history compressed into 118 pictures, 87 minutes of music, a sonic essay of sounds from our planet, and greetings in 55 human languages and 1 whale language. In 1977, Carl Sagan and his team of scientists, engineers, and artists had six weeks to create this extraordinary playlist of our collective humanity. Narrated by the Voyager 1 spacecraft, this musical is a record of the record and celebrates the process to complete this seemingly impossible assignment, with a 70s rock and folk score. The show’s stylistic vocabulary is an homage to the 1975 original Broadway production of A Chorus Line but with rolling office furniture and, at times, aesthetic references to The Carpenter’s 1978 TV Special Space Encounters. We're grateful to have shared the show with a number of the original team members who created the record and will be presenting a workshop of the show in NYC in 2023.
