Mr. President

Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin
Book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse
Opened October 20, 1962 at the St. James Theatre (NY) and ran for 265 performances.

Synopsis

President Stephen Decatur Henderson is en route to Russia when the proposed Soviet tour is canceled. Although a breach of protocol, he determines to land in Moscow nonetheless and the resulting humiliation costs him re-election. While his wife and two children are grateful to return home, the former President is not. He yearns to return to political life but when the offer of a senate seat comes with compromising conditions attached, he turns it down. His love of country is primary though, and eventually he proudly returns to government at the behest of the new president.
