Based on fact and folklore, this classic Romeo and Juliet tale, set in Appalachia in 1897,  tells the “real” story of the famous feud between the Hatfields and McCoys with a storybook ending of tolerance, friendship and love. The Real McCoy is an fun-loving, family-friendly musical written in the tradition of Oklahoma and South Pacific.
