“Lincoln:
The Musical” chronicles the Lincoln family’s entry
into Washington DC. The
new president is determined to lead the nation into an era of prosperity as he
sings Foster’s “Hard Times Come Again No More.” But soon, hope turns to despair
as the War Between the States commences – “a small skirmish” that quickly leads
to a nightmare that engulfs the president, his family, aides, generals, his cabinet
and the nation. Intertwined with the
family and political crisis is the drama unfolding at a Washington DC
tavern frequented by soldiers, members of Congress and an actor by the name of
John Wilkes Booth. Following the Emancipation Proclamation and the Cause of the
Union’s triumph, Booth plots to take action.
