The Wild West Show that goes beyond “Cowboys and Indians”

From 1968, the story of 19th Century European Americans’ settlement of western North America and displacement and confinement of the Native American population, as well as its subsequent mythologizing of that time…and told as a Wild West Show starring none other than Buffalo Bill Cody! Written as a protesting inquiry into the Vietnam War, Indians resonates anew with today’s confrontations between cultures foreign and domestic.

For Metropolitan’s production, the theater has been turned into a corral and filled with new music, dance, and a diverse company that includes actors both familiar and new to our stage playing across gender, race, and even species.
