HOT LIPS AND COLD WAR is a brand new sophisticated musical play set in the White House during the 1960s – a time of the Cold War, civil rights, protest movements, social and class unrest and the evolving musical revolution. Directed by Tim McArthur, the unusual filmic inspired interpretation of one of the most fascinating love stories in history is set to stun audiences. President John F. Kennedy, First Lady Jackie Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe return to the White House in style!
The exciting musical score reflects the highly charged era of changing social, sexual and musical attitudes with a variety of styles from light classical to boogie, modern jazz and swing from the 1950s and folk of the 1960s.
