About This Show

On Martin Luther King weekend, find courage at midnight with Mr. President.

On the brink of financial disaster, a son named Justice and his mother struggle to survive in Washington, DC during the Obama presidency. But change for mother and son proves not to be a promise but a consequence. Justice is jobless and hopeless, and the White House serves as a relentless symbol of what he will never have and who he will never be. An unexpected meeting with the President, however, changes Justice’s life forever. Through drama, dance and song the lives of Justice and the Obama family become parallel stories of unflinching courage and audacious hope.

Directed by the legendary Melvin Williams and choreographed by Joffrey Ballet’s, Candice Michelle Franklin, this dramatic musical will dare you to become the change we need.
