The US Elections are given a much needed Disney-style fairy tale make over. The most loved songs for the least loved candidates. With Richie Webb, Dave Lamb and Jess Robinson in Lady and the Trump.

A satirical, barbed, bittersweet fifteen-minute comedy musical. In true West End style, artistic licence is well and truly taken and stretched, as easily identifiable public figures are dressed up, gilded, fabricated and placed against a random musical backdrop for sugar coated consumption. The stories are simple and engaging but with an edge - allowing the audience to enjoy all the conventions of a musical (huge production numbers, tender ballads and emotional reprises) whilst we completely re-interpret events in major celebrities' lives.

Beautifully crafted with astronomically high production values 15 Minute Musical does for your ears what Christmas dinner does for your taste buds. All in fifteen minutes!
