The bright lights and big names of Broadway took on Washington politics Monday night, as a star-studded cast performed a new play based on the Mueller report.

“The Investigation: A Search For The Truth in Ten Acts” adapted and condensed portions of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s 448-page report on his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and President Donald Trump for the New York stage.

Annette Bening narrated, and John Lithgow and Kevin Kline took center stage as Trump and Mueller, respectively. The cast of 18 also included Jason Alexander, Kyra Sedgwick, Zachary Quinto, Piper Perabo and Joel Grey.

In 10 parts, the piece wove together passages inspired by Mueller’s report, excerpts from political news conferences and tweets from President Trump. It culminated with the cast reciting parts of the U.S. Constitution describing Impeachment.

I'd watch him read the phone book.

The link has quite a bit of it. tRump will be quite unhappy at Lithgow's lack of hair....

I have a hard time imagining him playing Trump. I mean, where does he put his intelligence, which is normally hard to hide, even for a really good actor? Even the still above...I'm not seeing Trump.

First, you'll see a ~1 minute epilogue/intro. This is immediately followed, as a separate video, by the entire 1 hour 17 minute performance, starting with an introduction by Bill Moyers. Recommended!
