A Vegas soundstage. A "non-candidate" pageant. A midnight crisis. And then a murder. Presidential Suite is a sharp, funny, high-stakes musical where history collides with showbiz, and the truth plays to win.
On a glitzy Vegas soundstage, a televised "non-candidate" contest brings America's presidents back to compete for the ultimate prize: the nation's adoration. But when the lights go out and a gunshot rings through the studio, the pageant turns into a whodunnit - pitting wit against legacy, and spectacle against truth.
Presidential Suite mixes satirical bite with a propulsive, contemporary score - sending Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, FDR, JFK and more into a collision of ego, ideals, and showbiz.
"Patriotically succulent, savory and suspenseful... a very fun and surprisingly patriotic evening of theatre."
