The Capitol Steps

For more than 30 years, the Capitol Steps have been reaching across the aisle to put politics and scandal to music in bipartisan spoofery. Armed with a never-ending supply of fresh material from our elected officials, the Capitol Steps continue to put the 'mock' in democoracy, with their latest production Orange is the New Barack!
