Capitol Steps

The Capitol Steps, a Washington DC-based comedy troupe that began as a group of Senate Staffers, will present a show based on songs from their current album "What to Expect When You're Electing" at the Joan C Bidinger Auditorium of WTWoodson High School, Fairfax, VA.

The Capitol Steps have been a Washington, DC institution for over thirty years, providing a unique blend of musical and political comedy to our Nation's Capitol and more. Each show consists of tasteful lampooning guaranteed to leave both sides of the political spectrum laughing. The troupe started in 1981 when John McCain was 63 years old! Since then, they have appeared on "The Today Show," "Nightline," "CBS Evening News' and for many years in specials for National Public Radio.

The show will provide such treats as "Small Hands" (sung by Melania, a parody of Pointer Sister's "Slow Hand"), "Tweet Tweet" (a parody of "Rockin' Robin," inspired by the President's tweet storms), "Don't Know Much About History" (with Betsy DeVos crooning "Don't know much about historyDon't know much biology") and "Putin on the Blitz," based on "Puttin' on the Ritz," in which Vladimir explains his philosophy on asserting power ("...Russian force I must assert don't make me take off my shirt you'll say 'tsk tsk' Putin is a risk...")

This concert, named after the troupes upcoming album, Orange is the New Barack, will be featuring songs from the new CD plus some current & past favorites.
