A 24-Decade History of Popular Music

First developed over several years with musical director Matt Ray, the piece culminated in a legendary 24-hour performance in 2016, featuring 246 songs spanning 24 decades.

Each hour explored a different period of American history through music, costume and performance, with Mac and longtime collaborator Machine Dazzle creating an ever-changing visual world. The production went on to be named by The Guardian among the best theatrical works of the 21st century.
