NEW YORK - President Barack Obama heads to Broadway next month as part of a
double bill with former President Bill Clinton - and the stars will be out
to welcome them.
James Earl Jones, Angela Lansbury, Patti LuPone, Audra McDonald, Mandy
Patinkin, Nina Arianda, Kerry Butler, Norbert Leo Butz, Bobby Cannavale,
Stockard Channing, Megan Hilty and Cheyenne Jackson are some of the
performers slated to attend the June 4 fundraiser.
"Barack on Broadway" is one of two events that day that will join Obama and
Clinton. The two presidents will also attend a dinner featuring a
performance by Jon Bon Jovi.
The fund-raiser will be at the New Amsterdam Theatre, the home of "Mary
Poppins" and will be directed by George C. Wolfe.
General admission is $250, with VIP tickets for $1,000.

in Canada - and gave a speech at the local auditorium. I don't remember the
price of the regular tickets - it might have been $100 - but I distinctly
recall that VIP seats (the first two rows apparently) were $2000 each. And
that's for ONLY a president that hadn't been in office for over a decade.
There were no other guests indicated in the advertising for the event.
The event cited in this article features the same Bill Clinton, the SITTING
President, and a bunch of stars in a much bigger city - America's biggest -
and only charges HALF as much for its VIP seats.
Now I don't know what the attendance was at our event or how many bought VIP
tickets and, of course, I don't know how many will attend the Broadway
event. Assuming that the people setting the prices at both events were
reasonably intelligent and knew the value of the "product" they were
selling, the pricing sends the message that Obama and Clinton are FAR less
valued in the US than Clinton alone is valued here in Canada. (I should
mention that the US and Canadian dollars have been very close to par -
frequently less than a penny difference on the dollar - for several years
now so I'm NOT comparing apples to oranges as currencies go.
Does anyone have a plausible explanation to offer? Just curious....
