The political blog and theatre company NERO FIDDLED returns, with the final chapter in the trilogy which began with Burning Bush: A Faith-Based Musical and continued with Moral Value Meal. Against the backdrop of this historic 2008 presidential election, an exuberant cast paints a musical and comedic portrait of the American political scene – a satire so sharp that within a few months of the show, Bush and Cheney will have no choice but to leave office. Life After Bush is a musical we can believe in.
