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.

Great acting, Funny, Edgy, Intelligent, Thought-provoking

See it if you appreciate top-notch performances in a relevant and engaging rap-rock musical setting. This is theatrical storytelling at its best.

Don't see it if you don't care about a surprising Iraq war backstory, WMDs, or the danger of unchecked human egos, or if you prefer lavish productions.

Relevant, Thought-provoking, Dated, Great staging, Great writing

See it if political intrigue and a nuanced take on American history are your thing. Terrific use of the space, fascinating creative choices.

Don't see it if long stretches of detailed historical info bore you. There's a feint at a love story, but really this is a mainly political piece.

Ambitious, Entertaining, Edgy, Intelligent, Thought-provoking

See it if You like edgy, political shows. Excellent performances, eclectic score. Unlikely subject for a musical--and it works! Small theatre intimacy

Don't see it if You still think the Iraq war was the right decision--then again, maybe you SHOULD see it!
