Carnegie - A New Musical

Carnegie is a new musical telling the story of Andrew Carnegie’s life.

Born in 1835 in the town of Dunfermline, Scotland he was the son of a poor weaver. The Family emigrated to the USA in 1848 to seek work after the Industrial Revolution created a slump in demand for traditional handmade damask. There he rose from telegraph boy in the Pittsburgh Office of the Ohio Telegraph Company to superintendent of the Pittsburgh Division by age of 18.

Through shrewd investments he became a railroad company owner, steel magnate and eventually the richest man in the world after selling his steel company to J.P. Morgan for $480m in 1901.
