Leave the standard White House Tour and peek upstairs for a look at Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Kennedy and Mamie Eisenhower, reinventing their true selves in song. First Lady Suite is a wild and rollicking musical time trip exploring America's First Ladies and the people closest to them. The Blank Theatre Company is again teaming up with Michael John LaChiusa (Hello Again, Marie Christine, The Wild Party) who is creating new songs and orchestrations expressly for The Blank's production.
