Tintypes is a musical revue set in the period of 1890 to the United States’ entry into WWI in 1917, represented by two representational and three real-life characters: a Chaplinesque Russian immigrant; Susannah, a first generation free-born African American; Flo Ziegfield’s luscious wife and main attraction, Anna Held; outspoken Socialist leader Emma Goldman; and the great Teddy Roosevelt. The characters comment on everything noteworthy about the period through 47 songs from that time, including “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” “Meet Me in St. Louis,” “Nobody,” and “Bill Bailey.”
