An Epic Musical!

music by Frank Wildhorn; directed by Jeff Calhoun;
adapted by Richard Hellesen and Mark Ramont
This epic musical features the words of Abraham Lincoln and music inspired by
the letters of those who lived through the Civil War. With rousing music, stirring
speeches and rich, historic costumes, Freedom’s Song evokes the soaring hopes
and tragic losses of the real people of Civil War America. Through a series of
highly theatrical vignettes, we see everyday Americans courageously confront
the gritty realities of a tattered nation and a war that pitted brother against
brother. Linco
