Obama, The Musical!

wenn2238173__opt1.jpg

Talk about the power to influence people!

President Barack Obama has inspired millions with his words and actions. So much so that a new musical is even being made about him. The show is titled Obama on My Mind.

The play's music, lyrics, and script, were written by U.S. writer Teddy Hayes.

Hayes describes his show as "a humorous romp set in an Obama campaign office, with songs that mix pop, gospel, jazz, 'some Motownish stuff' and even tango."

The casting hasn't been announced yet, but they won't have to worry about finding a Barack. The Obama character never actually appears on stage.

Hayes said, "Nobody can really impersonate Obama, can they? He's a one-off."

The musical is set to open at a small theater in London this March from the 3rd through the 21st.

      Why would I want to see a play glorifying a politician who hasn't had the opportunity to prove himself? It's poison for Americans to idolize him prematurely!!!

      Don't get me wrong, I love Obama and all, but all these songs dedicated to him are starting to be a bit disconcerting. Makes me wonder what's the difference between songs dedicated to Barack Obama and Chairman Mao?

      "Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized"
      Albert Einstein

      If we read history we must be afraid of the Obamania around the world.- What have this man done to deserve such an adulation? Is he a hero? An inventor? Has he saved lifes?..What? He just won an election!

      For our own sake I hope all the unfounded adulation do not make this man a monster…Remember Mao, Castro, Che, Hitler, Mussulini, Napoleon? They all had something in common, the adulation and fervor of the masses…..And we all know the results!

      God Bless America!

      Re: kerkieberkie – I agree with you..don't get me wrong I like him but come on now..he already spent 150 million that we don't have on his 1st day..I would have thought with all his trying to save the world he would have cut down on expenses.

      btw..they paid all this $$$ for security and I was there and guess what??HORRIBLE checking people. I ccould have carried weapons and bombs and they wouldn't even have known…also, the police were too busy taking pics of the president instead of protecting the people..and we still wonder why we are always being attacked..



    63. 63

      Dear President Obama

      Re: SWEETPIECE LOVES THE OBAMAS! – Ah, "It wasn't your fault!"
      Laura to GW. Just to be clear.



    72. 72

      Saw Barack about a year ago at The Narnia Estate in suburban Chicago at a fundraiser. He was the best public speaker I've ever seen.



    73. 73

      The only reason they are doing this is because our BIASED MEDIA has turned this man into a celebrity. So now when anyone looks at him all they see are $$$$ and how can they make money off of using him? Just like they do with Tom, Angelina, Brad, etc.



    74. 74

      YEEEEE BAAMAAAAA.
      WE LOVE YOU!
      I mean clearly,
      people are making musicals after the man.
      HE CAN DO NO WRONG



    75. 75

      iF THEY EVER WOULD DO A MUSICAL I'D RECOMEND "GARY COLEMAN" FOR THE PART?
