Around this production
Mr. President is a musical with a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse and music and lyrics by Irving Berlin. The story focuses on fictional US President Stephen Decatur Henderson, who runs into political trouble following a disastrous trip to the Soviet Union, and his problems with his children. Bored with life as a civilian after his presidency ends, he decides to return to political life. The original 1962 Broadway production ran for 265 performances and starred Robert Ryan and Nanette Fabray. The show received a generally unenthusiastic response and was Irving Berlin's last musical.
Mr. President, the last original show with a score by Berlin, premieres at the St. James Theater. Historical Dictionary of the Broadway Musical Volume 22 William A Everett Paul R, p. 27
