Nixon King: A World Premiere Musical Dramedy

A deadly serious comedy from the mind of Robert P. Young. The 1960 Presidential election was razor-thin, and some claimed Richard Nixon was cheated. One moment loomed large: Nixon's failure to help Martin Luther King, Jr. escape a potentially fatal jailing. But what if Nixon did try to intervene? In this hilarious and poignant musical, a disguised Nixon embarks on a secret mission to a Georgia prison to save King. Can one night—and one act of courage—alter history, or are some outcomes inevitable? NIXON/KING reimagines a pivotal moment with humor, heart, and what-ifs.
