Bush Wars Revue Returns with New Material, 9/22

The critically acclaimed Bush Wars: Musical Revenge will re-open with several new musical numbers based on material ripped from recent headlines on Friday, September 22nd at 8PM at the Actors' Playhouse (100 Seventh Avenue South, at Fourth Street, Greenwich Village). A press opening is slated for Wednesday, October 4th (7PM).

"Told through 16 musical parodies and dozens of costume changes, Bush Wars sinks its talons into everything from Dick Cheney literally in bed with the oil companies to the Supreme Court's 'right hand turn' and from 'Republican training school' to George W. in a soft shoe number with his bosom buddy, Jesus!," state production notes.

"The new material includes a hilarious take on the immigration guest workers program, wire tapping, the re-writing of the Constitution, and voter fraud! The musical takes a funny but insightful look at how America's current government has undermined The Geneva Convention, Science (Evolution and The Environment), Personal Security, Truth, Competence, Religious Freedom, Personal Freedom, The Courts, The Brain Dead and yes, Democracy itself!"

Bush Wars is created and directed by Nancy Holson (The News in Revue) and Jay Falzone. It is written by  Holson and choreographed by Falzone. Jim Russek conceived the show and will co-produce. He is a former national political organizer and 30 year veteran of Broadway and Off-Broadway advertising.
