The story follows President Theodore Roosevelt and his daughter Alice as their personal and political worlds collide. While Roosevelt grapples with the demands of leadership, Alice rebels against expectations, pursuing her own passions and independence. Her defiance sparks conflict with her father, especially as she falls in love with Congressman Nicholas Longworth. Against a backdrop of national pride underscored by Sousa’s marches, the musical explores family bonds, rebellion, and legacy.
