44 is a satirical look at the rise and presidency of Barack Obama, as well as the eccentric political characters he met along the way.
Obama’s election changed history. And as we clearly see also ended racism forever! But 44 is the story of the Obama you won’t read in history books…. because history books are now banned in most states. But also, because 44 is the story of Obama as Joe Biden kinda sorta remembers it…as a Musical!
Bauman said, “As we survived the totally normal and stress-free 2024 election and Inauguration Day, we hope you’ll join us for a look back at the 44th Presidency of the United States – when the White House was full of hope when the President didn’t endorse a violent attack on his own Vice President, and the President’s largest scandal was wearing a tan suit.”
