The gentleman who portrayed Theodore Roosevelt seems to be the real Teddy! He stays in character after the show also and greets you as you leave and pictures are a must! He is entertaining as well as informative. It is the second time we have seen him and I wouldn't have missed it. He made me appreciate President Roosevelt more than ever!
This was an enjoyable hour spent with an excellent Teddy Roosevelt impersonator. He gave a good overview of Teddy's life with some interesting stories behind the events that are not well known. The only draw-backs were that Teddy started 10 minutes late, which made us anxious about making another tour on-time, and the noise level of the audience was unbearable. Please do not attend this show if you have small, tired children who want to scream and complain loudly. This distraction almost ruined the show for us. In addition, two adults decided it was a good time to have a continual conversation. Very annoying. Perhaps the staff should remind the audience at the beginning to keep conversation to a minimum during the performance. $9.50 each seemed a bit pricey but they do have a large historical facility to maintain.
This is worth the time and money. We sat up front with our kids and granddaughters. Before long, it was almost as if Roosevelt was there. Would recommend doing this before going to the park as it helped gain a new appreciation of Roosevelt and his life. Would not recommend for 4 and younger.
We're not big history buffs, but my wife and I really enjoyed getting to know Teddy and his wife. We walked away with a new appreciation of his accomplishments, humor, and general attitude toward life -- very inspiring! Cost of the show was only $9.50, and it was well worth it.
We attended the Salute to Teddy Roosevelt held in the Old Town Hall Theater. What a great experience it was. The portrayal of President Roosevelt was magnificent. After the show, he takes questions from the audience, so do a little research before you go and can ask a question from a historical perspective.
This was my three-year-old and I's first time seeing Joe Wiegand's performance as Teddy Roosevelt, my 10-year-old's second time, and my mother-in-law's third. We all loved it! My MIL says it changes a little bit each time and "Teddy" definitely plays to his audience. It was a long show for my little one, but she was rewarded in the end by receiving the Teddy Bear for the youngest audience member. When "Teddy" found out her name was Eleanor we then learned that Teddy and Eleanor Roosevelt were cousins, and that she didn't have to change her surname when she married FDR. Wiegand is a very sharp man and does a fantastic and realistic impersonation. We attended many attractions around Medora and this was my favorite! You won't be sorry!
