Fashioned after American Idol. A troupe of 5 actors. One of them will be in the new version, too. It was basically my creation, and taken from a conception to reality by some people I was associated with in New York.

The actor/write who is still in for the new version is the guy who played both Bush and Giuliani here. I WISH I could get the women who played Tina Turner and Laura/Huckabee/Hillary/Palin, but they have all moved on.

Here is "Home on the Range, Bush style," the 2008 Republican primaries runner-up medley, and "Voting for your future (Tina Turner doing Rolling on the River)"







We had a little bit of a free ride with Palin, needless to say:

If all goes well, it's starting in April or early May of next year in New York City. The Times gave us a great review, too, last time, said it was too bad we had SNL as competition. The audiences absolutely loved it, and the room was usually packed. Didn't make a cent on it, of course, got a tax write-off on the loss instead, but it was a labor of love, and it got some good recognition for some talented, but unknown NYC actors, and I'm in for one more round if it can get put together.
