Description

The show opens with a goodbye scene as Abner Appleberry’s son leaves for a tour of duty in Iraq. The scene quickly changes to a 4th of July celebration with Abner and his young granddaughter, Abigail, participating in the festivities. A musical number during the event gives the audience the chance to honor veterans of all five branches of the military. The opening alone will excite you and make you wonder what will happen next!

Young Abigail is sad because her father is unable to participate in the 4th of July activities and she doesn’t understand why her Daddy’s job is so important. Grandfather Abner takes Abigail on a musical journey through time, beginning with the signing of the Declaration of Independence. From there the audience experiences the Revolutionary War, life on the prairie, the building of the railroad, the Civil War and concludes the first act with a saloon scene and a dance number to “Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight!”

Act Two opens with the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair then segues to a moving scene on a boat headed for Ellis Island. The 1st World War leaves its mark on American history and then we experience the Roaring 20’s. Then, the Depression hits and later a World War II montage appears on the 66’ X 19’ video screen at the back of the stage. Dancing breaks out at the end of the war and the audience witnesses the amazing talents of the troupe of 24 singer, actor, dancers in this incredible show. Swing dance, tap numbers and familiar songs from the 40’s will astound you and leave you feeling as though you are personally experiencing the end of the war!

Then, the last 50 years flash before you and a heart-touching video reminds everyone of the events of September 11, 2001. This scene closes with a touching experience at the Vietnam Wall and concludes with a musical number that remembers all the Americans who have served and protected our country during our history as a nation. The show concludes with another 4th of July celebration, 12 months later, as the audience stands to their feet with a resounding musical rendition of “Stand and be Proud.”
