"The script is delightful... The cast is outstanding and immensely likeable... If you have a child in your life, bring them. If you don’t, go anyway. You’ll have a blast." –Chicago Theater Beat
"Be kind to your web-footed friends by taking the family out to see Duck for President... My five year old daughter enjoyed this show as much as I did, and it completely kept her interest... With the 2012 election right around the corner, the show is, of course, both timely and educational." –Stage and Cinema
Life on the farm is hard: too much work, not enough sleep, and no time for swimming. And who put Farmer Brown in charge, anyway? When the chores get out of control, it’s time for a charismatic young Duck to run for office. And once he’s running the farm, it’s only a few more steps before he’s running the whole country. With Cow and Hen’s help — and with Pig as his campaign manager — nothing can stand in Duck’s way! The smash hit musical about the pitfalls of politics returns, just in time for the election.
Recommended for kids 5 and up. Children under 2 are not permitted.
