Draped in dazzling drag, Taylor Mac crosses the stage, opens his mouth and belts out … a history lesson. Mac’s elaborate stage show, A 24-Decade History of Popular Music: 1776-1806, is a glittering, melodious blast from the past, informed in part by the performance artist’s survey of New England towns. Mac digs below the surface of regional folklore to extract what he calls “the little nuggets that aren’t in the high school history books,” painting a colorful portrait of the United States, from its founding through the rise of democracy. Mac’s show is broad and deep (hence its three-hour running time), spotlighting not only his stunning showmanship but his commitment to storytelling.
