"If President William Jefferson Clinton behaved like two different people—one moment noble, the next naughty—that’s because he was!" according to press notes. "Clinton The Musical explores the two very different sides of the 42nd president of the United States. With Hillary (Rodham) Clinton at their side, the two will handle issues from The White House to Whitewater, the sax to the sex, social security to social climbers, and in the process make history. Maybe. You cannot miss this 'hillary-ous' new musical and outrageous double bill!"

New World Stages is located at 340 West 50th Street. Tickets, priced $75-$95, can be purchased by calling (212) 239-6200 or by visiting www.telecharge.com. For more information go to www.ClintonTheMusical.com.
