CAUCUS! THE MUSICAL

Caucus! The Musical

When an unassuming farmer and his family are called “the typical Iowa caucus voters” by the press, their lives are thrown into chaos when a group of competitive and increasingly-desperate presidential candidates try anything to win their endorsements! Called “the hottest new musical in the country” by the Washington Post when it premiered in 2008, this home-grown production is a hilarious and irreverent look at the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses and how this small state plays a large role in the presidential nominating process. Subtitled EPISIDE 2012: THE GOP STRIKES BACK, this year’s version of CAUCUS! THE MUSICAL is being updated to reflect the current crop of presidential candidates and the hot-button issues! Subject matter and language may not be suitable for audiences under the age of 13. Running time: 2 hours.
