Description

Obama meets the All-American musical. Why not? Of course! and Yea! –especially because Seattle gets it FIRST. Story and song blend with hilarious circumstances when this power combo of music and politics hits Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center on October 15, 2009. Obama on My Mind takes a humorous look at the whirlwind and wonderful world behind the scenes of an Obama campaign office in small town America. A passionate group of larger than life oddball characters start to panic when Sarah Palin enters the race and Obama falls 20 points in the polls. Pop, gospel, jazz, and soft rock come together in a politically inspired comedic romp featuring a motley crew of loyal, obsessive and downright peculiar personalities, striving to get their candidate into the White House.
