The Capitol Steps Return to the Van Wezel Tonight
The Capitol Steps, a Washington DC-based comedy troupe that began as a group of Senate Staffers, will present a show based on songs from their 2014 album "How to Succeed In Congress Without Really Lying" at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall tonight, Nov. 1. Just in time to help you laugh off the chaos of the mid-term election.
The Capitol Steps have been a Washington, DC institution for over thirty years, providing a unique blend of musical and political comedy to our nation's capital and more. Each show consists of tasteful lampooning guaranteed to leave both sides of the political spectrum laughing. The troupe started in 1981, when John McCain was only 63 years old! Since then, they have appeared on "The Today Show," "Nightline," "CBS Evening News" and for many years in specials for National Public Radio.
Their show is constantly changing, strenuously bi-partisan, and includes songs about everything in the news, such as "Putin on a Blitz," "The Big Benghazi Theory," and "Everybody Must Get Droned."
If you've ever wanted to see Barack Obama sing a show tune, Nancy Pelosi sing a rock song, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie do a classical ballet, this might just be the show for you!
Tickets are priced from $15-$45 and can be purchased online at VanWezel.org, by visiting the Box Office or by calling 941-953-3368.
