Tired of politics as usual? The answer to your election year blues is a concert by the Capitol Steps, followed by some good food, good conversation, and good times. As a troupe of Congressional staffers turned musical comedians, the Capitol Steps have toured the US satirizing the very people who once employed them. Their material is funny, insightful, and timely whether it includes George Bush's latest malapropism, in "Don't Go Fakin' You're Smart" (to Elton John's "Don't Go Breakin' My Heart") or Mike Tyson in "Pardon Me Boys, Is This the Chap Who Tried to Chew You?" (Think "Chattanooga Choo-Choo"). The Capitol Steps are equal opportunity offenders and audience delighters.
