A Musical Look At America's first Ladies

by John Jacobson and Roger Emerson

Celebrate America with this musical salute to America's First Ladies. From Martha Washington to Laura Bush (and easily adaptable to future First Ladies), explore the vital leadership roles these women have played throughout history, the challenges they faced, and their commitment to America and the world. As a centerpiece, the musical features John and Abigail Adams and their famous correspondence while John served as America's second president. Through six original songs and a well-crafted script, the lives of other key presidents unfold seamlessly. The Teacher's Edition includes the accompanied songs, dialog, staging suggestions, and choreography. The Singer's Edition includes vocal lines and dialog only. Songs include: Hail To The Chief (a partner song with We Are The Ladies Of The White House), Dear Abby, Behind Every Man, Dinner At The White House, Together, and We've Come A Long Way. (30 minutes, Grades 4-8)
