The 1960 play "is set at the national convention where two candidates are vying for their party's nomination during the primary season." Expect "an inside look at the dirt-digging, double-dealing, triple-crossing chicanery of presidential electioneering and what could be more fun in a presidential campaign season than these theatrical fireworks." The Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre is located at 236 West 45th Street. For tickets, call (714) 432-9681 or email [email protected]. For more information visit ProjectCuddle.org or TheBestManOnBroadway.com.
