TRUMP! The Musical To Debut At Kennedy Center

Just announced by TheaterMania, excerpted below:

President Donald J. Trump and the board of trustees at the Kennedy Center have announced the center’s most ambitious commission to date. Trump! The Musical! will be a bio-musical about the real estate mogul and reality TV star who became America’s 45th and 47th president.

“It’s going to be just like Hamilton without DEI,” said the president in a press conference. “And you know what?,” he added, “It’s going to be even better than Evita … and with a happier ending. We love a happy ending.” . . . 

TheaterMania’s sources indicate that the president initially reached out to Andrew Lloyd Webber to write the music for Trump! The Musical!, but the composer of Cats and Jesus Christ Superstar has yet to return his call. “He’ll be getting a one-way ticket to El Salvador the next time he lands at JFK,” Trump reportedly told an aide who reminded the president that his favorite composer is an English baron.

But the show must go on. According to an official press release, the score of Trump! The Musical! will be penned by Kennedy Center trustee Lee Greenwood, with a book by Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot. . . .
