This is a "playlist play" in four acts, that is, a group of songs that tell a story or lay the foundation for a story. Or another way to think of it is, "A Playlist Rock Opera." It follows a prison escape and is divided into the following four parts, "The Pre-Escape & Planning," "The Escape", "On The Lam" and 'The Return." As you listen, the songs in this playlist will paint images in your head and with a little bit of imagination, you'll come away with a full story, just as you would if you read it in a book or saw it on a stage.
Listen to this playlist with Rhapsody or Yahoo Music Unlimited.
