“I can do one of two things,” says Teddy Roosevelt at the top of “Teddy & Alice,” “I can either be President of the United States or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both!" The battle of wills between the great American President and his free-spirited daughter provides a spectacular double-star turn in this high-stepping, flag-waving and heart-warming family drama, set to the immortal strains of John Philip Sousa. Spurred by Roosevelt’s disapproval of Alice's interest in upstart Congressman Nick Longworth, the power brokers of Washington connive to marry her off so their Head of State can concentrate on more important matters – like Panama! Brimming with rousing marches and patter songs a la “The Music Man” and featuring a cast of outrageous, larger-than-life characters which includes the five younger Roosevelt children, J.P. Morgan, William Howard Taft, and a young Franklin and Eleanor, “Teddy & Alice” is an hysterical and historical slice of Americana that’s simply “Bully!”
