In this clip from Act III, we see the girl in Red (Edith Evanski), the girl in White (Delaina Brown), and the girl in Blue (Lisa Boyd) singing the Presidents in chronological order. They were all supposed to wear the unflattering column dresses, but the girl in Blue decided to wear something form fitting and fabulous. The other girls are furious because their dresses resemble potato sacks.

"It is time we celebrate all our American Presdients past by remembering all their names from the first one to the last. George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James K.
