44 is a satirical look at the rise and presidency of Barack Obama, as well as the  eccentric political characters he met along the way. 

Obama’s election changed history. And as we clearly see also ended racism forever!  But 44 is the story of the Obama you won’t read in history books…. because history  books are now banned in most states. But also, because 44 is the story of Obama as  Joe Biden kinda sorta remembers it…as a Musical!
