The Clintons have been the center of scandals, intrigues and Beltway drama of all sorts. Now, however, they are poised to be the stars of musical theater, as well.
The work of Australian brothers Michael and Paul Hodge, “Clinton: The Musical” is making its U.S. debut at New York City’s New York Musical Theater Festival, which runs from July 18-25. It was nominated best new musical at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
According to the playbill, “It’s hard enough being president by yourself. Bill Clinton’s problem is that there are two of him. Literally.”
Get excited.
“Clinton follows two Bill Clintons and Hillary on their quest to save their presidency, change America and prove that ‘politics is show business for ugly people,’ ” the playbill continues.
Bill Clinton will be played by Karl Kenzler, and Alet Taylor will fill in for Hillary Clinton when the curtain comes up on this new stage.
