About The Event

44: The Musical is the Obama story you definitely didn’t learn in history class. This genre-blending production delivers everything you’d expect—and then some—from a musical about the Obama era. Think Sarah Palin scream-singing “Drill Me Baby” like Ozzy Osbourne, President Obama crooning “How Black Is Too Black?” over a smooth Motown groove, and “Filibusters,” a high-energy hip-hop number featuring Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz rapping “Green Eggs and Ham” in full.

Playing at the Klein Theatre for a limited run from April 18 to May 10, grab your tickets and experience the show for yourself!
