Saw it on Veterans Day 2025! 44 Obama Musical is amazing! My favorite song is “How Black is Too Black.” Dancing, singing, and acting is top notch. Broadway level performance. I hope this show continues on. I laughed out loud so much with friends. Politics junky would really appreciate the show.
Plesantly surprised at this small intimate theater. Not a bad seat in the house. The play 44 the musical was great. Extraordinary voices in the cast. Extra shout out to actor who portrayed Joe Biden. He was excellent along with everyone else.
This is the show to see if you are a Celine Dion super fan and love satire! Loved this theatre and the fantastic cast and crew that turned Titanic into a comedy! Catch it before it leaves NYC in June!
I saw 44 The Musical based on the life of President Barack Obama. The theater is centrally located in Union Square and is comfortable with easy access.
Loved the place. Small theatre for off broadway shows. Very intimate and the staff is BEYOND FRIENDLY. Will be on the lookout for future shows performing at this venue for sure
