About the Show
Chicago produced a president, a string of corrupt governors, and
they’re vying for the Olympics in 2016; so who better to make fun of
all of it than The Second City – celebrating its 50th anniversary this
year. In
Barack Stars,
Chicago’s favorite son is given his satiric due, with an economy on the
ropes and maybe just a touch of swine flu for good measure. Perfecting
the art of comedy revue with sketches, songs and a little
improvisation, The Second City storms the Capital City to tackle
partisanship, the politics of race, a terrifyingly tiny Rahm Emanuel,
and a host of other headline-grabbing personalities.
