The American Dream

From the winner of the 2019 Jonathan Larson Award for musical theater writing, this complete show tells the story of Marian Kelly, a fictional Irish immigrant who came to America in the 1930s. It is a story of perseverance in the face of struggle, remembering our past, honoring our ancestors, and building a new life in the USA. It features a broad array of musical genres, including Riverdance-inspired Irish reels, Jazz Age big band, musical theater, and a heartwrenching ballad. The character of Marian's granddaughter is featured throughout the show as a soloist, and there are also opportunities for five additional soloists. Songs: Beautiful Girl; Land of Opportunity; Living the American Dream; We All Start Somewhere; Strong Enough. Running time: 18:30.
