2025-2026 Mainstage: Eleanor

In this tour-de-force solo performance described as “brilliant and emotionally relevant” by the Wall Street Journal, Kandis Chappell brings First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to vivid life. Candid and commanding, vulnerable and visionary, from the shadows of the White House to the global stage, Eleanor finds her purpose at life’s greatest crossroads, shaping a legacy that continues to inspire.

The story takes audiences from Hyde Park to The White House and beyond and provides a rich personal account of the Roosevelt family, dynasty and presidency. If you loved last year’s Eisenhower, you’ll be enthralled by the story of this passionate and unforgettable woman.
