Capitol Steps - Lyin' King at Axelrod Performing Arts Center

The Capitol Steps, America’s political musical satire troupe that has been putting the “mock” in democracy for over nine Presidential elections, returns to the Axelrod for their annual Presidents’ weekend performance. With the 2020 Presidential election season starting to percolate, their new show The Lyin’ Kings couldn’t be more timely. What better time to see The Capitol Steps than right after the Iowa caucus and a couple of weeks prior to Super Tuesday?! The show will include the latest songs about the Democratic primary candidates (“76 Unknowns”) and the newest late-night thoughts from President Trump (“Tweet It”). Though no one knows what 2020 will bring, but whether it’s Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) or Adam Schiff, The Capitol Steps can tell you what rhymes with it! Whether you’re a Democrat or Republican (or somewhere in-between), if you’ve ever wanted to see Donald Trump sing a rock song, Bernie Sanders sing a show tune, and Vladimir Putin dance shirtless…this is the show for you!
