All the Way

Last night Steve and I saw All the Way at Cleveland Playhouse.  It is the first play of the 101st season and it's amazing!  It's only playing through October 9th, so you can still catch it if you hurry.

It's the story of Lyndon Johnson and his accidental presidency after JFK's assassination.  All kinds of political intrigue with J. Edgar Hoover and Martin Luther King Junior.  It's a very fast paced play, that goes into detail of how the Civil Rights Act was passed and the internal turmoil of the Democratic party.  The Democratic party then was much different from the liberal front of today.   They used the constitution as an excuse not to give people equal rights.   Does that sound familiar?

They even had stations to register to vote in the lobby on iPad stations.   This play won two Tony awards and the lead is the understudy of the Broadway original LBJ.   You should really see this.
