'One Shining Moment': the JFK Musical (1983). Anyone see it?

I did.
It was at the original Drury Lane Water Tower in Chicago. The show was written by Allan Jay Friedman & Leslie Bricusse. I think the director could have been Dennis Rosa.
Kevin Anderson and Megan Mullally played (I think - it's been many years) JFK and Jackie.
Looking back, the most interesting thing to me is that all the players were teens/early twenty-somethings ala the original "Merrily"; which makes me wonder which show might have been in gestation first/had the idea of using strictly young performers first.
As far as I know, after Chi the show was never done anywhere else again. It had previously been workshopped somewhere else though - maybe somewhere on the east coast.
Does anyone have any further comments? I'd LOVE to be filled in on whatever else I don't currently remember.

I've got a copy of another JFK musical, a German one called JFK the rock opera, written in English, albeit with terrible lyrics and a very strange marilyn monroe plot. has anyone else heard / heard of it?

Pgenre, are you still in search of those Ben Bagley recordings?

Other things I just remembered:

The "big" song of the show was entitled IMITATE THE SUN.

Joe Sr. had a song with lyrics that went something like this:

I'm tellin' ya Rose, that boy'll be President...
he's a natural born White House resident...

They don't write 'em like that anymore!
