About this item

Comic impressionist Rich Little puts his mimicry talents to above-xaverage use in this stage performance, in which Little portrays nine successive 20th-century American presidents, from John F. Kennedy to William Jefferson Clinton. Cowritten by Ron Nessen, press secretary to Gerald R. Ford, the script resonates with the intelligence of an insider and a passion for the heady, epochal sweep that includes the civil rights, Vietnam, and Watergate years of Oval Office triumph and tragedy. Most of the material is steeped in obviousness: JFK's romance with Marilyn, Richard Nixon's infatuation with bugging devices, Ronald Reagan's tendency to confuse real life with the movies. But there is stronger stuff: the subtle strain between Ford and his First Lady, the chronic incompetence that permeated Jimmy Carter's administration, and, most impressively, the forces that played havoc with Lyndon Johnson's support of the Voting Rights Act of 1964. This is history lite, but well worth a look. --Tom Keogh
Product Description
Insightful, touching and hilarious, this showcase for comedian and impersonator Rich Little take a journey through America's last forty years as he becomes, with uncanny accuracy, nine presidents from John F. Kennedy to George W. Bush. Preserving a deep respect for the Oval Office while dramatically reflecting our country, our culture and ourselves, this program features each Commander in Chief joined onstage by his First Ladies, the famous "Second Bananas" (including John Dean, RFK, McNamara, Billy Carter), news correspondents, political pundits, Secret Service agents, and field reporters, with Little also performing the voices of Jimmy Stewart, Walter Cronkite, The Rat Pack, David Brinkley and Henry Kissinger. Written by Ron Nessen (Gerald Ford's Press Secretary and former NBC news correspondent) and New York playwright and screenwriter Loren-Paul Caplin, this is a patriotic treat for every generation.
