As Director of the FBI from 1924 to 1972, J. Edgar Hoover secured his position as the most powerful man in America by gathering information on the private lives of others. Yet, behind all the the machismo, was his concealed sexuality, his flamboyant partying and his lifelong love affair with his deputy, Clyde Tolson. Here was a man who stopped at nothing to use the secrets of others to build and exert his control … yet underneath the petticoats of power lay his own secrets … hidden … there … in plain sight.

Here Comes J Edgar! is an irrepressible musical comedy about the love of power and the power of love, and what a simple black dress and a single strand of pearls can do for a guy!
