Synopsis

Just in time for election fever, Mr. Gershwin Goes to Washington gathers George and Ira’s best satirical songs about politics – including “Of Thee I Sing,” “Love is Sweeping the Country,” “Union Square” and “Strike Up the Band” – into a headline narrative about the trials and tribulations of presidential hopeful John P. Wintergreen.

He is surrounded by a zany crew of irrelevant running mates, dangerous opponents, obstreperous anarchists, a femme fatale, and of course, his devoted First Lady.
