Abe - A New Musical

The show explores his youth as a flatboat pilot on the Mississippi, his early love for Ann Rutledge, his troubled marriage to the difficult and mentally fragile Mary Todd, and his attempt to be a good father to his sons

The story follows Abe from his earliest attempts at self-improvement through the 1860 election which made him the 16th president of an already fracturing United States

The score (For Hire) is fully orchestrated and uses bold, melodic and traditional musical theatre styles that embrace the story's period and Americana roots

It can be produced fully staged or as a concert performance

The musical features a large cast and requires strong singers: baritone, soprano, mezzo-soprano, 3 adult male singing roles, 3 male children singing roles, male/female chorus with many speaking roles
