THE NEWS IN REVUE, the Emmy Award-winning musical satire troupe, will be playing the Palace Theatre in Manchester, New Hampshire for one night only, on October 12th.

Fast paced and side-splittingly funny, each actor will play multiple characters in the course of the 90-minute show, skewering everyone from A-Rod to Zardari.

From Hillary Clinton's Globetrotting Escapades to a behind-the-scenes look at life in the Obama White House with the First Grandma as our tour guide, to a ridiculously funny look at the swine flu epidemic as seen by a disheartened swine, THE NEWS IN REVUE is on the job making musical mincemeat and mayhem out of the ever-changing people and the places in the headlines.

Hailed "a delight" by The New York Times and "Very clever" by WNBC-TV, THE NEWS IN REVUE is written and created by Nancy Holson, writer/director of the Off-Broadway hit musical "Bush Wars" and the co-creator/writer of the fabulously funny Parenting 101, which is playing to standing ovations across the country. Created in 1992 (and making audiences laugh ever since), THE NEWS IN REVUE has performed continuously in various cities throughout the country and has won five Emmy awards for its series of PBS specials, two of which were for Ms. Holson's writing. The group has performed throughout the country entertaining dignitaries such as President Gerald Ford, various Cabinet members, assorted Senators, Congressmen, Mayors, and the Speakers of the House from all 50 states (and Saipan!). They have had troupes in residence in various cities in Florida, CT, Colorado and for fifteen summer seasons in the Berkshires.

This show promises more laughs than a Sarah Palin interview and will generate even more applause than Dick Cheney leaving office. You can always expect a few surprises because as news stories break, THE NEWS IN REVUE is on the job, producing topical tunes from their uniquely zany perspective
