THE STORY: Mary Todd Lincoln is tired of Washington, DC. The nation's capital is so boring; she would much rather be onstage, where she belongs, starring in a cabaret. And if she can't do that, she might as well drink. Or push her chaperone down the stairs. Or drink. The entire White House is fed up with Mary's antics, most of all her bore of a husband, who can't focus on anything except his silly Civil War. To get her out of his hair, Abe hires a handsome, up-and-coming actor to give Mary acting lessons, hoping to keep her busy and out of trouble, but the distraction ends up working a little too well. A riotous, campy, outrageous comedy that dares to ask: What won't Mary Todd Lincoln do to be a star?
