Laurie Metcalf and John Lithgow, both two-time Tony Award winners, will team up on Broadway to play the power couple who have been a prominent part of the American political landscape for the past quarter-century in Hillary and Clinton.
The play by Lucas Hnath is a four-hander set in New Hampshire during the 2008 Democratic primaries, as Hillary Rodham Clinton, her chief strategist Mark J. Penn and her husband Bill Clinton butt heads over whether bringing in the former president will be a liability or an asset in HRC's troubled campaign to secure the nomination for a White House run. Her opponent, Barack Obama, is the play's unnamed fourth character, referred to only as "The Other Guy."
Rising-star playwright Hnath made his Broadway debut in 2017 with A Doll's House, Part 2, which has gone on to become the most-produced play of the current theater season in America. The witty response to Ibsen won Metcalf the first of two consecutive Tonys, for lead actress in a play. She followed with a featured actress win this year for Edward Albee's Three Tall Women. Both those plays were presented on Broadway by Scott Rudin, who also is producing Hillary and Clinton.
Joe Mantello — another two-time Tony winner, who directed Three Tall Women and this summer's hit revival of The Boys in the Band, on which Rudin also was a producer — will stage Hillary and Clinton.

So either way, I will pass.
My God, go away with this crap.
The “Power Grifters”
If it were honest and and even somewhat explicit, it’d need it’s own rating for obscenity and depravity regarding the true bill and hill.
Let me guess, a music comedy...
I’d rather watch chicken parts thaw.
Who plays the part of the ashtray?
Who’s going to play Monika Lewinski or Paula jones? What about the rest of the rape victims?
So will it be a comedy or dark erotic thriller?
A tragedy is more like it.
they are dance on stage in bathing suits?
Theater of the absurd.
Lithgow is playing Hillary?
