"The Civil War: The Musical" by the Spartanburg Little Theater
to
Spartanburg Little Theatre 200 E. St. John Street, Spartanburg, South Carolina 29306
Drawing on letters, diaries, firsthand accounts, and the words of Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and Walt Whitman, the Tony-nominated musical The Civil War is a thrilling, gut-wrenching and awe-inspiring “dramatic theatrical concert” that covers the enormous emotional landscape of the most difficult test our nation has ever endured. This epic thematic revue puts a human face on the greatest tragedy of American history and explores the experiences of the soldiers and leaders who fought for their way of life. It also examines the lives of the lovers and families they left behind, as well as the hopes and fears of the slaves whose freedom was at stake. Drawing from the American musical genres of rock, country, gospel, folk and rhythm and blues, The Civil War passionately asks us to consider our beliefs about freedom, honor and faith.
