Following its acclaimed, sold-out runs in Chicago and LA, the smash-hit musical comedy 44 -THE MUSICAL returns to Chicago for a second term!
44 is a satirical look at the rise and presidency of Barack Obama and the eccentric political characters he met along the way. The musical satire features music, lyrics and book by a former Obama campaign organizer Eli Bauman ("NBC's Maya & Marty"). This brilliantly funny musical stars T.J. Wilkins (NBC's "The Voice") as ‘Barack Obama’, Shanice (award-winning R&B artist - "I Love Your Smile" and OWN's "Flex & Shanice") as ‘Michelle Obama’ and Chad Doreck as ‘Joe Biden' with Audri Bartholomew (u/s Voice of the People & Michelle Obama), Larry Cedar (Mitch McConnell), Summer Collins (Sarah Palin), Summer Nicole Greer (Voice of the People, u/s Michelle Obama), Jevon McFerrin (Brother Abe Lincoln), Dino Shorté (Herman Cain), Chelsea Morgan Stock (u/s Clinton, Palin), Jeff Sumner (Lindsey Graham), Michael Uribes (Ted Cruz), and Ryan Williams (u/s Biden, McConnell, Graham, Cruz). Additional casting to be announced.
Barack Obama's election changed history. And as we can clearly see, it also ended racism forever! But 44 is the story of Obama you won't read about in history books...because history books are now banned in most states. But also because 44 is the story of Obama as Joe Biden kinda sorta remembers it...
