MUMBAI: Performances of the new stage musical "Obama on My Mind" are scheduled to begin at Islington's Hen and Chickens Theatre in March, Playbill.com said.
U.S. crime writer and filmmaker Teddy Hayes, who has lived in England for the past 13 years, penned the book, music and lyrics for the show about the new American President Barack Obama.
Previews for the musical are to begin March 3, while the show's opening night is slated for March 5.
"Celebrating the election and inauguration of America's first black president, 'Obama on My Mind' takes a humorous look at the weird and wonderful world behind the scenes of a small Obama campaign office and the larger than life characters who make the wheels turn, the cogs whir and bring in the votes," said press notes for the production.
"Pop, gospel, jazz and soft rock come together in a politically inspired romp featuring over 11 loyal, obsessive and downright peculiar personalities, striving to get their man into the White House." Casting is expected to be announced soon, Playbill.com said.
