Good, maybe to a surprising degree. On Earth Day, Jane Fonda narrated this one-night-only activist musical with book and lyrics by V (fka Eve Ensler, of “Vagina Monologues” fame). The score is a fluent tour of pop rock by a team with songwriting credits for up-to-the-minute pop darlings Chappell Roan (“Good Luck, Babe”), Raye, Zara Larsson, Gracie Abrams, and a whole bunch of other performers whose names you’d recognize. I was suspicious that this would be a preaching-at-the-choir message show (recently, Punch, the moral thrust of the otherwise-excellent John Proctor is the Villain). But it pretty squarely addresses the rank-and-file members of the comfortable center-left—the type of specimen you expect to reliably pack the house for this kind of thing—impelling them to get up from the sidelines and stand in front of the metaphorical (or literal) bulldozer. Whether exactly it accomplishes that remains to be seen, but it doesn’t feel fangless, and it’s highlighted by strong central performances by Breanna Yde, Paravi, and Crystal Monee Hall.
