THE CAPITOL STEPS RETURN TO SOUTH HADLEY WITH THE "LIBERAL SHOP OF HORRORS" TOUR ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18
The Capitol Steps make their annual Pioneer Valley visit with their new “Liberal Shop of Horrors” tour for one night only, Saturday, December 18, at 8PM, at Chapin auditorium on the campus of Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, MA.
The "Liberal Shop of Horrors" Tour is an evening of musical political satire which pokes fun at Democrats, Republicans, Tea Partiers and Independents alike. America’s health care, bailouts, the environment, the budget, partisan politics, unfaithful politicians, and a Nobel-Prize winning President are transformed into skit, song and dance.
The Capitol Steps began their antics over 25 years ago, when a group of Capitol Hill folks set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them.Today, The Capitol Steps perform in Washington, DC weekly, and at theatres and concert halls nationwide throughout the year. They have recorded 30 albums, including their latest, "Liberal Shop of Horrors" . 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 Capitol Steps have twice won the Washington Area Music Association's "Wammie Award" for outstanding cabaret and musical theatre performances; a New York Drama Desk nomination for "outstanding lyrics", and other national accolades.
