Call it a jukebox musical, call it a tribute musical, or call it a dramatic musical, … “Waiting For A Train” is both memorable and monumental in its achievement toward celebrating the life and song of Jimmie Rodgers, the undisputed Father of Country Music.
Beginning during the closing days of Jimmie’s courtship of Carrie Williamson to be his wife, continuing up through his historic recordings during Ralph Peer’s famed Bristol Sessions, on through his brief, yet illustrious recording and performance career of the early 1930s, and up until his untimely death in New York City at the age of 35, there is very little overlooked here regarding the life of Jimmie Rodgers, the undisputed Father of Country Music.
Interspersed with heartwarming scenes of family life, and coupled with spectacular and creative renditions of some of his greatest recordings, the music alone will make this live stage musical one to remember.
And should the final scenes bring you to tears, we’ll then know we’ve touched a special chord, stirring your inner emotions, as this monumental, true-to-life story is destined to do.
