PHILADELPHIA, PA – As the political season heats up, Philadelphia is set to host the acclaimed musical comedy “44 – THE unOFFICIAL, unSANCTIONED OBAMA MUSICAL (As Told Through the Hazy Recollection of Joe Biden).” This engaging production will take the stage at The Suzanne Roberts Theatre (480 S Broad St) from October 29th to November 3rd, offering audiences a satirical glimpse into the presidency of Barack Obama.
The musical, which has garnered critical acclaim and sold-out shows in cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago, promises to bring laughter to political enthusiasts and theatre fans alike. Written, composed, and directed by Eli Bauman, a former Obama campaign organizer, the show boasts an impressive cast including T.J. Wilkins as Barack Obama, Shanice as Michelle Obama, and Chad Doreck as Joe Biden. The production has already secured seven 2023 BroadwayWorld L.A. Awards, including Best Musical and Best Ensemble.
“44” is not just a humorous take on politics but also a thoughtful reflection on the era when hope resonated through the halls of the White House. As Eli Bauman notes, the musical provides a nostalgic look at a time when the biggest presidential controversy was a tan suit.
Produced in association with Martin Lawrence & Stacy Lyles, the musical features an extraordinary ensemble cast and a celebrated creative team, including music direction by Anthony Brewster and choreography by Miss James Alsop. The performance schedule includes previews on October 29th and 30th, followed by an official opening night on November 1st, with additional performances through November 3rd.
