Charming, honest and plainspoken, the show epitomizes the wit and homespun wisdom of the famed entertainer, cowboy, comedian, philosopher and movie and Broadway star. The life of Will Rogers, from his career as an entertainer to his campaign to run for President of the United States, to the plane crash that eventually ended his life, is told through giant follies-style production numbers that include rope tricks, performing dogs, and a grand entrance by his wife who sings while being lowered to the stage sitting on the moon.
The positive legacy of Will Rogers is given tribute in the musical, reminding audiences of the many thoughts and ideas he used to share with the American people through his popular radio show during the great depression.
"I never yet met a man that I didn't like. When you meet people, no matter what opinion you might have formed about them beforehand, why, after you meet them and see their angle and their personality, why, you can see a lot of good in all of them."---Will Rogers
