The year is 1905. One week before the next election. New York City. Tammany Hall politician George Washington Plunkitt has gathered a group of new immigrants for the purpose of educating them on the subtleties of the American political system. Come join the party in this Mufti-style staged concert performance, and experience a real-life lesson on honest graft, dishonest graft and the American way that's as relevant now as it was over 100 years ago. Vote Early. Vote Often. Vote Tammany!

The score features songs from the early 20th century American Songbook arranged by Satomi Hoffman (The Phantom of the Opera).

Directed by Bill Castellino (Cagney, Storyville), and with music direction by Ryan Touhey (Nightclub Cantata), the four-member cast will feature D.C. Anderson (The Phantom of the Opera) as Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, Tim Jerome (Grand Hotel) as George Washington Plunkitt, DAN MANJOVI (Master Class) as Aaron Jefferson Levi and Frank J. Paul (Altar Boyz) as Tony Caponi.
