Heather Smiley for President 2015

Heather Smiley for President, a new musical comedy, is being presented by Theater for the New City, Crystal Field, Executive Director, as a world premiere with book and lyrics by Tom Attea and music composed by Arthur Abrams.

As timely as today's headlines, the musical spotlights Heather Smiley, a female Democratic candidate, as she struggles to present herself in a winning way against a growing field of Republican and Democratic candidates. Her husband, Bob, who has already been the President, supports her equal right to be the President. As one lyric states, they'll be "the first mates to be Presidents of the United States."
