Information About

Shenandoah (musical)




As with the original film, ''Shenandoah'' centers on a Widower , Charlie Anderson, living with his large family in the Shenandoah Valley during the American Civil War . Anderson does not wish to be involved in the war because he doesn't consider it "his" war, but he's forced to take action when his youngest son is taken prisoner by Federal soldiers.

''Shenandoah'' was revived on Broadway , again with Cullum in the lead role, on August 8 , 1989 ; this production lasted only 32 performances, closing September 2 , 1989 . A new production of ''Shenandoah'' opened March 22 , 2006 at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. , starring Scott Bakula ; positive critical notices and strong ticket sales have resulted in the show's run being extended through May 21 (although Bakula is to depart the production April 30 ).
