Release Date: Feb 22, 2010   Author: Cathy Weiss

WICKENBURG, AZ -

The Capitol Steps, Americas award-winning political musical satirists, return to the Del E. Webb Center for the Performing Arts with their new tour "Obama Mia!" for two performances, Saturday, March 6 at 7:30 PM and Sunday, March 7 at 3:00 PM.

Famous for putting the "mock" in democracy the irreverent group charms audiences on both sides of the aisle with its unique brand of political humor set to popular music. While the Capitol Steps are renowned for poking fun at occupants of the White House, no one is safe from their satirical barbs, from Democrats to Republicans and from Congress to the Supreme Court. The Capitol Steps are the only show to feature North Korean leader Kim Jong Il singing show tunes ("How Do You Solve a Problem Like Korea?") and Vladimir Putin showing his soul in "Midnight Raid to Georgia."

Since they began performing in 1981, the Capitol Steps have recorded 29 albums. Theyve been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS, and can be heard 4 times a year on NPR stations nationwide during their "Politics Takes a Holiday" radio specials. The Webb Center program includes songs from their new album "Obama Mia!", as well as melodies spoofing the current issues in the news. The show hits both sides of the aisle, and the songs change with the scandal of the day. So, if something big happens in the news, you can run to the Capitol Steps show and find out exactly what rhymes with it!

The Capitol Steps have twice won the Washington Music Associations "Wammie Award" for outstanding cabaret and musical theatre performances; a New York Drama Desk nomination for "outstanding lyrics", and other national accolades.

To preview some of the Capitol Steps materials and download selections from "Obama Mia!", visit their website (www.capsteps.com) or find The Capitol Steps on MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.

Tickets are $35.00 on sale at the Webb Center Box Office 684-6624 or online: www.delewebbcenter.org
