About

This epic musical features the words of Abraham Lincoln and music inspired by the letters of those who lived through the Civil War. Through a series of highly theatrical vignettes, we see everyday Americans courageously confront the gritty realities of a tattered nation and a war that pitted brother against brother. Lincoln’s inspirational words intermix with these stories, imagining a bloody nation once again unified. Ford’s Theatre is developing this work as part of "Ford’s 150," a series of events commemorating the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s assassination

    Freedom Song was fantastic

    This is one of the best musicals I have ever seen, it was emotionally captivating and had a very informative story line. I initially thought I had booked this musical on the wrong night considering it was my first full day in Washington DC I arrived extremely exhausted hoping I would be able to make it through the show without falling asleep. Within 5 minutes I was captivated, energized, and awakened. It truly brought me back to life. I highly recommend this musical and I am saddened that it's only premiering for one week. It is definitely worth your money as well as your time.

    Freedom's Song

    by JMAIII on 3/16/15Ford's Theatre - Washington

    Great show remembering Pres. Lincoln's efforts to eliminate slavery forever. Some of the singers had some great, powerful voices. I expected some more songs from the era but overall it was a great production!
