The 2nd Annual Trump Family Special

“What other horrors, I left the theater wondering, can be boiled down into catchy lyrics to be laughed at over a dirty martini?” – The Week

“It’s yuge! It’s bigly! It’s covfefe! – The Advocate

“..leaves no joke stone unturned, even some stones that might be better left unturned.” – Washington Post

The 2nd Annual Trump Family Special is an original musical comedy spoofing the first family in a yuge way! In this send-up, Trump’s brood has gathered to perform in a live televised event for the new Trump TV network. But when the orange man-of-the hour runs late, host Ivanka stalls by interviewing the various family members, which leads to a wide array of clever character songs. And when they are “off camera,” we find out what they’re really thinking…

Reminiscent of vintage TV family specials like The Partridge Family and The Brady Bunch, the show offers comic relief for these frustrating times – with a fresh perspective and fun-loving spirit. A first rate cast delivers a cabaret evening you won’t soon forget.

“Democracy in shambles? Why not put on a show? That’s the inciting impulse behind The First Annual Trump Family Special, [a] concatenation of Franklin D Roosevelt’s fireside chats, the Partridge Family’s Christmas albums and the apocalypse.” – The Guardian
