One 4-letter word is about to rock 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. When the President unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, the seven brilliant and beleaguered women he relies upon most will risk life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity to keep the Commander in Chief out of trouble.
Directed by five-time Tony Award® winner Susan Stroman, POTUS is an uproarious Broadway debut by playwright Selina Fillinger. Lilli Cooper, Lea DeLaria, Rachel Dratch, Julianne Hough, Suzy Nakamura, Julie White and Vanessa Williams star in this riotous comedy about the women in charge of the man in charge of the free world.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive
Farce Is Back In Fashion at POTUS — Review
8 / 10
I can understand a lot of the criticism that POTUS will eventually receive. It’s a little vulgar, a little nonsensical (again, Dratch), but somehow, it is also the most enjoyable play I’ve seen in a while. POTUS is a heck of a good time and a hell of a laugh. Let me go again, next time I’ll wear Crocs.
Susan Stroman for President? ‘POTUS’ Proves Again She Really Runs the Show
8 / 10
The idea that at least a few of these fictional women could do a better job leading a country than the title character comes up repeatedly in 'POTUS,' and Ms. Fillinger makes a case for this while also making us shudder at the thought. Ms. Stroman, meanwhile, proves once again that her own leadership abilities should be held in no doubt.
