For over thirty years, The Capitol Steps have been a Washington, D.C. institution providing a unique blend of musical and political comedy to our nation's capital. Each show consists of tasteful lampooning guaranteed to leave both sides of the political spectrum laughing. The troupe started in 1981, when John McCain was only 63 years old! Since then, they have appeared on "The Today Show," "Nightline," "CBS Evening News" and for many years in specials for National Public Radio. "We put the MOCK in Democracy!" ? The Capitol Steps

Their show is constantly changing, strenuously bi-partisan, and includes songs about everything in the news, such as "Putin on a Blitz," "The Big Benghazi Theory," and "Everybody Must Get Droned." If you've ever wanted to see Barack Obama sing a show tune, Nancy Pelosi sing a rock song, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie do a classical ballet, this might just be the show for you!

The Capitol Steps won first place in the Washington City Paper, 2014 Best of D.C. Reader's Poll, "Best Place to Take an Out-of-Towner" category. Readers said, "They are to D.C. what Second City is to Chicago!" For more information about The Capitol Steps, visit www.capsteps.com.
