A romp through such chestnuts as “Old Oaken Bucket”, “An Apparition of a Dandy” and that #1 hit, “Poor Little Gypsy”, sure to be one of the great jukebox musicals of the 19th Century. The entire audience will be blindfolded for an hour. Literally.

Two Men fall in love while escaping slavery, and Walt Whitman and Steven Foster go head to head for the title of “Father of the American Song” culminating in the queerest Civil War Reenactment in the history of mankind.

A Jewish tenement, a WWI trench reenactment and a dance-off between 12 ukulele playing Tiny Tims and 12 Charles Dickens Tiny Tims.

Act VI: 1926-1956
Harlem Renaissance, Prison Fantasies, and the Atomic Bomb
Oh the Depression, ain’t it great... Zoot Suit Riots meet Japanese Internment Camps, and white people flee the cities.

Act VII: 1956-1986
a March, a Riot, and a Backroom Sex Party
Bayard Rustin’s March on Washington leads to Queer riots. Sexual deviance as revolution in the backroom sex party.
