Full Length, Musical Drama

Book by James Lee Barrett, Peter Udell and Phillip Rose

Music by Gary Geld

Lyrics by Peter Udell

11 m, 3 f, 2 children, male chorus

This colorful and dramatic saga is based on the film which starred James Stewart as a strong willed Virginia farmer trying to keep his family neutral as the Civil War rages. Union forces and the Confederates see things only in shades of Blue or Grey, so the family is inevitably swept up in the conflict against all odds. Their story is a heart-warming and heart-rending portrayal of the upheaval that left wounds on the land and its people for generations to come. The Tony-winning Broadway production ran for over 1000 performances and toured extensively.
