Political Idol

In this final installment, presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain square off over the economy and foreign policy, while running mates Joe Biden and Sarah Palin spare over their qualifications to be V.P. nominees. At the end of the show, the audience will vote for the next Political Idol. Produced by the FREEDOM TOAST company, the show is a satirical cabaret that takes aim at all political parties and positions.

Broadway performer Frank Harts – A Raisin In The Sun – returns to Political Idol in his signature roles of Barack Obama, Charlie Rangle, Maya Angelou. Other returners include Lara Buck (Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, Cindy McCain, Laura Bush, Nancy Pelosi), Joe DiSalle (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mitt Romney, Joe Biden, Al Gore and Dick Cheney), and Robert Yarnall (John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Bill Clinton, George Bush, John Edwards). The show is directed by Julie Banciak, with Chris Berg as musical director.
