“44 – The Musical” is a satirical look at the rise and first term of the presidency of Barack Obama along with the myriad of characters who were part of that story. As told from the memory of Veep Joe Biden, we get Michelle Obama, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Sarah Palin, Ted Cruise and others.
This is NOT intended to be a political piece…it’s about having a fun and memorable evening in the theater…you’ll laugh and feel good regardless of what party to which you belong, if any.
Joining in the conversation are the writer/composer/director and lead producer of the production, Eli Bauman. Plus, you’ll meet TJ Wilkins (playing President Obama, and you may know TJ from his appearance on “The Voice.”); and Chad Doreck (playing Joe Biden) help tell the very funny and engaging story.
This production was a hit during a previous and brief run in Chicago (During the DNC) and received rave reviews during its run in Los Angeles…and now…it’s Back! But only through September 21st at the Studebaker Theatre. You can purchase tickets at: www.44theobamamusical.com/tickets.
Enjoy this humorous and engaging musical before it heads off to New York!
Indeed I’d call it a Bi-Partisan Laughfest full of music, song and humor people will enjoy on both sides of the aisle!
