Story of Musical Play
In the classic melodrama tradition, Honest Abe presents a hero—Abraham Lincoln, of course—and a villain—Crudley Doowrong, whose mission throughout history has been to corrupt leaders and destroy civilizations. Now Crudley finds himself on the battlefields of the Civil War, determined to disunite the United States. But he faces a formidable opponent in Abraham Lincoln, who’s working diligently to keep the nation unified. So Crudley decides to travel back in time to see how he can reverse Lincoln’s path of nobility. In each stage of life, Crudley hurls adversity and ethical challenges, forcing Lincoln to face hardships, moral dilemmas, temptations, and his own insecurities. Together with the audience members, Lincoln must decide if he will uphold the character traits that count, or succumb to an easier, more self-serving approach. Will Crudley’s dastardly influence destroy both Lincoln’s character and the nation’s unity? Or will Lincoln’s trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship save the day?
