Clinton: The Musical

The New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF), which is an annual three-week fall festival usually presents more than thirty new musicals. 'Clinton: The Musical' is one of the thirty musicals and is finalized to make its New York stage premiere as part of the festival.

The musical comedy imagines two Bill Clintons - one rough and tough individual from Arkansas, while the other a beloved president of the people. The cast of characters includes well-known personalities from Clinton's White House tenure, including Hillary Rodham Clinton, Al Gore, Kenneth Starr and, Monica Lewinsky.

The show runs from July 18 to 25 at the Pershing Square Signature Center. Paul Hodge and Michael Hodge are the lyricist, which follows “two Bill Clintons and Hillary on their quest to save their presidency, change America and prove that 'politics is show business for ugly people'”.

The musical was premiered at 2012 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it was nominated for best new musical. It was also played at London`s King`s Head Theatre the next year.
