THE NEXT PRESIDENT

THE NEXT PRESIDENT

Composer: Various
Lyricist: Various

Opened: April 9, 1958, Bijou Theatre, N.Y.C.
Performances: 13

Note: Mort Sahl released an album two or three years after this show closed called THE NEXT PRESIDENT, Verve (S) MGVS-615021. Given the topical nature of Sahl's monologues, it is not clear that this album necessarily contains any material used in this show. However, if it does not, it is likely that one or more of Sahl's earlier, more contemporaneous albums do.
