With the election season upon us, what could be more fitting than a political musical? Sophisticated and sassy, it’s a hilarious and timeless send-up of national institutions that is as relevant as ever. (It even features its own impeachment proceedings!) It was the first musical to win the Pulitzer Prize and is one of the brightest, funniest spoofs on American election politics ever written. It also features one of the largest casts ever seen on the McGinnis stage.
