Abe

Abe
abe is a new musical about the early life of abraham Lincoln. the show explores his youth as a flatboat pilot on the Mississippi, his early love for ann Rutledge, his troubled marriage to the difficult and mentally fragile Mary Todd, and his attempt to be a good Father to his sons. the story follows abe from his earliest attempts at self-improvement through the 1860 election which made him the 16th president of an already fracturing United States. the score is fully orchestrated and uses bold, melodic and traditional musical theatre styles that embrace the story's period and Americana roots. It can be produced fully staged or as a concert performance. the musical features a large cast and requires strong singers: baritone, soprano, mezzo-soprano, 3 adult male singing roles, 3 male children singing roles, male/female chorus with many speaking roles.

Chaplin

Synopsis:
n 1889, Charlie Chaplin was born into a theatrical family  both parents were Music Hall entertainers. His early life was beset by poverty and despair; his Father died an alcoholic when Charlie was 12, his mother suffered a mental breakdown and he and his older half-brother, Sydney, had to be placed in the workhouse at Lambeth.
