From a new team of writers comes a hard-edged, hard-boiled commentary on the American political machine. Part tabloid, part “The Manchurian Candidate,” “The Fix” is a totally original biting satire ripped from the headlines of today, yesterday, and most likely tomorrow. A popular presidential candidate is dead, and his wife, who has power on the brain, thrusts her son into the political spotlight. Her maniacal scheming is matched by that of her crippled brother-in-law, who will stop at nothing to see the boy elected. Together, the three of them make up one of the most dysfunctional almost-first families this side of real life Washington politics. With a driving, riveting score by John Dempsey and Dana P. Rowe – two newcomers who have already been tapped to musicalize “The Witches Of Eastwick” – “The Fix” is a powerful, nightmarish, hysterical roller coaster of a musical guaranteed to leave an audience breathless.From a new team of writers comes a hard-edged, hard-boiled commentary on the American political machine.
