Hail to the Chief!, a Campaign Comedy, 11/6/16

Posted on ; Filed under Events

Come, see Somervillians and St. James parishioners and sometimes-soloists at In Good Company’s

HAIL TO THE CHIEF,

an amusing, musical romp through presidential campaign history. In Good Company presents original musical theater productions inspired by history.

It’s election season, and an esteemed college professor is lecturing about Presidential campaign songs. Suddenly, he is interrupted by a competing professor and her aides who are determined to not only tell American history through music, but to sing it!

Challenge issued, the class breaks into song, lively debate, and musical competitions, armed with Presidential music from the time of George Washington to JFK. “Hail to the Chief” is a delightful exploration of political campaigns and the songs that defined them. You’ll hear (and perhaps sing along?) to songs by such well-known composers as Stephen Foster (“The White House Chair”), Al Jolson (Harding, You’re the Man for Us”), and Irving Berlin (“I Like Ike”). It’s a welcome escape from the current news reports and debates leading up to November 8!
