Join us for a journey through a century of Broadway musicals inspired by the world of politics. From idealistic grassroots politicians to rogue populists, witness the creative genius of songwriters like Irving Berlin, the Gershwins and Rodgers and Hart. Discover how personal ambition, conquest and failure became the muse for captivating tunes. From Pulitzer Prize-winning classics to intriguing flops, immerse yourself in the world of shows like "Of Thee I Sing," "Fiorello!" and the audaciously titled "How to Steal an Election." Cast your ballot for this fun and entertaining exploration of politics on Broadway.
