Never has a presidential play come at such an off-Broadway price.
“Clinton the Musical,” which debuted in the U.S. last July at New York City’s New York Musical Theater Festival, will appear off-Broadway in 2015, as reports The New York Times.
According to the production’s website, the show “explores the two very different sides of the 42nd President of the United States: ‘WJ,’ the wholesome, intelligent one, and ‘Billy,’ the randy, charming one. With Hillary (Rodham) Clinton at their side, the two will handle issues from The White House to Whitewater, the sax and the sex, social security and social climbers, and in the process make history.”
The musical, which is the work of Australian brothers Michael and Paul Hodge, will start shows on March 26 at New World Stages in New York City, likely just in time for Hillary to announce her bid for president. The official opening will take place on April 9.
Directed by Dan Knechtges, a Tony nominee, the musical is sure to be entertaining. Undoubtedly, the tunes are a lot better than some other songs that have been written about Hillary Clinton.
Considering the Times labeled the humor “relentlessly low,” one can imagine Hillary will not be in attendance.
