About The Show
In this political fantasy, Franklin D. Roosevelt meets a young couple in Central Park and desperately tries to balance the budget so that they can get married. Coming along for the fun are his Cabinet, the Supreme Court, and his mother, Sara. George M. Cohan originally starred as FDR and James Cagney memorably recreated a scene from the show in the film Yankee Doodle Dandy.
The delightful Rodgers and Hart score includes the standard “Have You Met Miss Jones?” and “Off the Record”. The show was never recorded, so the audience will be hearing much of this score for the first time.
This 70th Anniversary Production of I’D RATHER BE RIGHT is directed and choreographed by William Mead (Tip-Toes) with musical direction by Brian O’Halloran, scenic design by Victoria Profitt, costumes by A. Jeffrey Schoenberg, and lighting by Jeremy Pivnick. Michael Donovan, CSA, served as casting consultant.
Joe Joyce is featured in the role of FDR. Also in the cast are Walter Beery, Thomas Dolan, Kristen Heitman, Carol Herman, Matt Kubicek, Alli McGinnis, Nancy Dobbs Owen, Lyndie Renee, Dan Spector, Christina Valo, Stephen Vendette, Tom Walz, and Kimberly Wood.
