This once in a lifetime celebration of the most exciting presidential torch pass in a generation is being rung in by some of New York's most exciting and hilarious performers. The show pays tribute to the administration's most memorable moments through song, comedy, cabaret, and banter.

Lea Delaria hosts an unforgettable party featuring the talents of Justin Bond, Jessie Kirson, Holcombe Waller, Avenue Q's Stephanie D'Abruzzo, and cast members of Hair. Special appearances by John Cameron Mitchell and Ugly Betty's Michael Urie.

Games include the ever so popular "He said, WHAT?" "The "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Piñata Swing" and the newly favorite "Lame Duck Shoe Toss". Under the guidance of Alyse Rothman, no stone will be unturned; no Vice Presidential Shot-Gun will be uncocked. And, in a downtown tradition sure to inspire a drinking problem worthy of Bush's past, the night will end with a champagne toast to the next 8 years that can only head in one direction, up! Tickets are only $25 with code JPTIXA2. See you at the party!
