“Pig Iron’s production boasts some of the best live music of any recent Shakespeare production in Philadelphia. Composer Rosie Langabeer unleashes a veritable orchestra of horns, see accordions, fiddles and more, all of which orbit the actors onstage.”  Broad St Review, Alaina Mabaso, Sept 9 2011

“…the whole production is pretty dazzling. The musicians — trombone, violin, accordion, tuba and more are in the instrument mix — play the audience into the theater and set a festive tone that somehow also bends time.” New York Times 2014

Music performed by: Rosie Langabeer – accordion/trombone, Marina Vishnyakova – violin/trumpet, Patrick Hughes – cornet, Joshua Machiz – bass/sousaphone and Chad Brown – percussion.

listen to the music

“the show is buoyed along by a manic undercurrent even in its sharpest, most exquisitely clear-eyed moments, of which there are many. Like composer Rosie Langabeer’s music, its highs spin wildly and its lows are mournful and bottomless.” New York Theater Review, 2014
