About The Show
On June 12, 1972, Deep Throat made its debut, becoming the first main stream pornographic movie. The country’s elite, from Truman Capote to Jackie Kennedy to Johnny Carson flocked to theater to see this history making film. Its star, Linda Lovelace became a sensation, counting Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson as her fans. By all accounts, at the time, she was on top of the world. A sexually liberated woman taking full advantage of the sexual revolution. But, just a few years later, she was telling a different story. One of abuse and imprisonment at the hands of her husband Chuck Traynor. She was embraced by the feminist movement and its anti-porn crusade, becoming one their premier spokeswomen, even going on to speak numerous times in front of the U.S Senate.
In the style of Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar, LOVELACE, A Rock Opera, tells Linda’s story. From pregnant teenager in Yonkers, New York to her turbulent relationship with Traynor and the making of Deep Throat, through to her triumphant rebirth as activist and suburban wife and mother.
About The Writers
Anna Waronker (That Dog.) and Charlotte Caffey (The Go-Go’s) are highly esteemed songwriters and performers worldwide. Los Angeles natives and sisters-in-law, they started collaborating for film, television, and other artists upon meeting in 1995. Lovelace has been a work in progress since 2002, where Waronker and Caffey’s initial involvement began solely as music writers. In 2006, they embarked on their first venture as playwrights writing the book for Lovelace in the form of a sung-through rock opera. After months of extensive research, Waronker and Caffey developed a highly emotional, dramatic, and sometimes hilarious piece about the life of Linda Boreman. This is their first theater endeavor. Individually, Waronker has released several albums in That Dog and as a solo artist and composes for film and television, and Caffey has penned such hits as “We Got The Beat”, “Vacation”, and “Head Over Heels” in her Grammy nominated band The Go-Go’s and co-wrote Keith Urban’s first #1 hit. Infusing Waronker’s signature vocal style and Caffey’s classical education with their collective rock and pop backgrounds, Waronker and Caffey have since written the book, music, and co-written the lyrics for Lovelace A Rock Opera.
