Few things were more inevitable than an Obama musical. What better way to commemorate the Hamilton presidency than with a vibes-drenched, profanity-laced sing-along for liberals who stopped being proud of their country on Nov. 8, 2016? That was the day Eli Bauman resolved to start writing what would become 44: The Musical, which began a limited run in Washington, D.C., last month after stints in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.
You might be surprised to learn that 44 was created by a white male Millennial nepo baby. Bauman is the son of Jon "Bowzer" Bauman—best known as the greaser frontman for doo-wop revival group Sha Na Na. His cousin, Eric Bauman, chaired the California Democratic Party until his resignation in 2018 due to sexual misconduct allegations.
It makes perfect sense, actually. Few demographics have cashed in on the Obama name more successfully than white men (see also: Pod Save America). Just as fittingly, the musical was financed by Monica Saunders-Weinberg, a billionaire shopping mall heiress from Australia.
Bauman, who worked on the 2008 Obama campaign before going to journalism school, has described 44 as his "best answer" to an "inexplicable" question: How did we get from Obama—hope and change, soaring rhetoric, epic vibes—to Donald Trump? There have been many attempts to answer this question. Very few have incorporated a live R&B band, a slutty Sarah Palin telling Katie Couric to "suck my d—," and a racy scene in which Barack and Michelle Obama croon about being one another's "freak dot gov" while making "White House love."

This is not from The Bee.
We all meet at the flak tower @ 0300.
I can’t wait to not see it.
“Hamilton” is a musical about the American Revolution, with a black cast.
If they make a musical about Obama, I will go see it — if it has an all white cast.
I think it should be 100% white females who attended formerly all-female ultra-pricey colleges - like Vassar and Wellesley (Hillary Clinton’s alma mater).
Nice Robert Earl Keen reference.
The Hope Goes On Forever
....and the torture never stops.
The musicals will stop when morale improves!
