About the Show

Baghdaddy begins in a support group for the disgraced spies who helped start the Iraq War, and quickly escalates into a manic musical comedy where the characters tell their stories and search for redemption.

Intelligent, Quirky, Refreshing, Relevant, Entertaining

See it if You like shows that manage to be both hilarious and incredibly impactful; you're in the mood for something very unique with a great cast

Don't see it if You're turned off by campiness used to depict serious topics (but I think this was very effective); you can't laugh about the Iraq war

Clever, Ambitious, Entertaining, Funny, Edgy

See it if you like funny and witty stories. This is a musical about the intelligence at the start of the Iraq War - it is odd and wonderful!

Don't see it if you want a traditional "Big Broadway" musical. Don't expect anything too political - it is about personal foibles not an indictment of W.

Don't see it if I noted a child in the audience- this isn't really appropriate for children. If you're looking for a solid night of theatre-this is it!

Clever, Ambitious, Great singing

See it if if you like political farce/satire based on true events and find the subject of the Iraqi war interesting, esp how they came up with WMD.

Don't see it if You are not interested in espionage/political matters and have no interest in the events leading to the Iraqi war.

Ambitious, Great staging, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Intelligent

See it if you like a smart musical that is inventive with staging (as Urinetown was) and political in its narrative - the cast is super! Great Concept

Don't see it if you are a CIA agent, a State Dept drone or you want T&A - clever, well-made, although casting could have been more diverse - very funny!
