THE CAPITOL STEPS RETURN TO METRO BOSTON WITH THEIR POLITICAL MUSICAL SATIRE "OBAMA MIA" WITH ONE PERFORMANCE AT CAMBRIDGE'S SANDERS THEATRE ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28.
Cambridge, MA:The Capitol Steps, America's award-winning political musical satirists, return to the Boston area with their new tour "Obama Mia" for one performance, Saturday, November 28 at 8PM at Sanders Theatre, Memorial Hall, Harvard University, 45 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA.
Famous for putting the "mock" in democracy, the Capitol Steps have become an annual area tradition The irreverent group charms audiences on both sides of the aisle with its unique brand of political humor set to popular music. While the Capitol Steps are renowned for poking fun at occupants of the White House, no one is safe from their satirical barbs, from Democrats to Republicans and from Congress to the Supreme Court. The Capitol Steps are the only show to feature North Korean leader Kim Jong Il singing show tunes ("How Do You Solve a Problem Like Korea?") and Vladimir Putin showing his 'soul' in "Midnight Raid to Georgia."
Since they began performing in 1981, the Capitol Steps have recorded 29 albums. They've been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS, and can be heard 4 times a year on NPR stations nationwide during their "Politics Takes a Holiday" radio specials. The Northampton program includes songs from
their new album "Obama-Mia", as well as melodies spoofing the current issues in the news. The show hits both sides of the aisle, and the songs change with the scandal of the day. So, if something big happens in the news, you can run to the Capitol Steps show and find out exactly what rhymes with it!
The Capitol Steps have twice won the Washington Area Music Association's "Wammie Award" or outstanding cabaret and musical theatre performances; a New York Drama Desk nomination for "outstanding lyrics", and other national accoloades.
