synopsis
 Our
founding fathers (and mothers!) show three kids the
history of the White House. Field trips are fun, especially
when your destination is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue! In
this charming and exciting new musical, Dee, José,
and Annie accidentally knock George Washington out of
his portrait and into real life - turning their White
House tour into an unexpected adventure. As they try
to get the nation’s First President back into
his painting, the threesome encounters Jacqueline Kennedy,
Abraham Lincoln and his wife Mary Todd, Dolley Madison,
and other famous White House residents. Together, they
learn that the White House isn’t just a historic
building… it’s also a home.
"The dude on the dollar bill leaps
to life in Karen Zacarias' entertaining and sometimes
inspiring children's musical 'Chasing George Washington'.
The production also features a spry score by Deborah
Wicks La Puma that ably mixes hip-hop, disco, ballads
and traditional show music" – The Washington
Post
