Mr. Mark Twain: The Musical is a stage musical biography of American author. Mark Twain. The show ran for 10 summers in Elmira, NY and Hartford, CT (1987-1995) and was telecast on a number of public television stations. Although an abridged LP was released in 1988, just recently an expanded cast recording has been release.
It started out really, really big – over 60 people, with a forty foot turntable (it was done in the National Guard Armory.) However, recently it was restaged and cut down to a more manageable community theater size.
