Description

Only one person can save the Union now, and it's comedic historian Ellie MacPherson! Inspired by her historical hall pass, Ellie wants your vote and she's getting it the only way she knows how, by singing and sharing stories from America's past. Stories which sound eerily like America's present. And that's a gift no one wants. ‘Exceptional and outstanding… a human glitterball’ ***** (Musical Theatre Review). ‘Genre-defying historical satirist’ ***** (The Student). ‘A wit that could wither a sitting president’s goolies’ **** (Theatre Weekly).

An entertaining and humorous story of Abraham Lincoln. I enjoyed Ellie’s sense of humor as well as her beautiful voice as she both sang and told the story of Lincoln. This is a 5 star performance!!
