Theatre has always intersected with politics, and the presence of American presidents in Broadway, off-Broadway, and regional theatre plays and musicals is a major part of this. Did you know that all of our heads of state have been featured in shows, whether as characters or as plot points that are part of the action?

After a sold-out performance last year, Matthew Rosenstein brings Make Me French back to the Beechman for Bastille Day, 7/14. The show follows Rosenstein, “a bagel who dreamed of being a croissant,” on his journey to become as French as possible, including moving to Paris, through stories and song!

The stage production does make a lot of strides that strengthens the endurance and popularity of this love story. It repeats iconic moments from the popular 2004 film, but isn’t aping the original screenplay in any way. A new libretto offers a fresh take that borrows the basic structure of the novel and memorable film moments, whilst breathing in new voices and new scenes that add different layers to these familiar characters.
