Overview
Al Capp's world-famous characters populate this upbeat show in a delightful mixture of hillbilly nonsense and sharp, critical humor. A fun-filled, foot-stompin’ musical taken directly from the comics, Li'l Abner is laced with gentle satire, rib-tickling gags, and a host of brash, catchy tunes. The crowd-pleasing score features "If I Had My Druthers," "Jubilation T. Cornpone," "Namely You," "Progress Is the Root of All Evil" and "The Country’s in the Very Best of Hands."
