| The play is about the legendary master builder of New York, Robert Moses, who from the mid-1920's until 1968 determined the shape of today's New York, and had enormous influence on the rest of urban America. Five people manipulated 150 puppets. The five-piece band played music by Christopher Thall, with lyrics by Andrea Balis. |

A 12-foot-long Robert Moses puppet surveys mid-Manhattan.
|
 An aluminum deco puppet
at the city gates of Manhattan |
Wheel of Power: A 12-foot ferris wheel identifies each of the 12
unelected positions Moses held simultaneously in New York City and New York State governments.

"The Bill Song"
You got to write it right
To get your bill to fly
You'd be amazed
Just how much crap gets by.
