Biography: Give 'Em Hell Harry is a biographical monologue that centers on Harry S. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States. The original stage and film performance was created by James Whitmore in 1975, earning widespread acclaim and nominations, including an Academy Award nomination for Whitmore. In 2017, Clifton Truman Daniel—Harry S. Truman’s oldest grandson—took on the title role, continuing to tour the country with this evocative, non-musical portrayal. Daniel brings personal connection and historical insight to the performance, offering audiences a richly nuanced look at Truman’s decision-making, leadership during wartime, and impact on American history.
Discography/Recordings: While Give 'Em Hell Harry is a stage show rather than a musical album, related performances and spoken word releases have contributed to its cultural footprint, including acknowledgments associated with a Grammy-winning lineage for Best Spoken Word Recording related to the project. The show remains a strong example of biographical storytelling in theatre.
Upcoming Tours: The show continues to tour across the United States. Recent and upcoming dates include Key West during Presidential Families Weekend (February 2024 and February 2025) and Delray Beach Playhouse appearances in February 2026, with additional engagements in Cape May and Cape May MAC in prior tours.
