Send in your campaign donations now, because Barack Obama is going to Broadway!
That's right, Barack Obama, Presidential Candidate for 2008 will be on Broadway at the New Amsterdam Theatre on September 24th.
Don't worry, it's only a one night event, according to the New York Times. Obama has not dropped his career goals to become a famous actor.
Producers of some of Broadway's hottest shows ("Curtains," "The Color Purple," "Hairspray") will host the event, with performances by Tony award winning actors and actresses.
Normally Broadway stays out of politics, although it has been known to host events for Bill Clinton and Bill Bradley.
No word as to whether or not Mr. Obama will perform. Even if he doesn't, it's a pretty creative way to raise campaign funds--after all, who doesn't love a little bit of theatre?
No other news source has reported this as of 3:47 EST on Sept. 7th.
