Walt Whitman Poem Addapted for Musical Theater

Walt Whitman's More or Less I Am to be free of charge at the Old Stone House in Brooklyn. The musical theater production has adapted Walt Whitman‘s poem, Song of Myself. Okay, it's a stretch, but Song of Myself could describe memoir, so as a Walt Whitman fan, I'm posting it. 

Whitman Leaves of Grass; it is hailed as his “tribute to a nation’s ideals on the brink of civil war.”

Here’s more from the release; “Reflecting Whitman’s celebration of American diversity as encapsulated in New York City, an international mix of actors, musicians, and children will speak and sing Whitman’s words. Members of the audience will also be encouraged to play a role. Following all performances, audiences are invited to join the cast and crew for a celebratory reception, with food and drink for all to share.”
