Can I just take some time to say Capital Steps was absolutely hilarious? They hit plenty of big issues in politics and culture right now without making it tired, forced or even overly insulting. I particularly appreciated the rendition of "Welcome to Arizona" and the Obama/Old Spice commercial. And thank golly they made a point of going into American paranoia. You could easily pick up on a general atmosphere of general interest and appreciation for the group by the audience. Politics were made very accessible in this way particularly to our age demographic. It as a really good choice for the time of political elections and midterm.Overall the performance was entertaining and made me want to learn more about politics without feeling like an idiot. I was sad to see it end.
The overall consensus I found in other viewers was surprised appreciation. I noticed there was a full house, most people appeared to have stayed for the entire act, and there were several people from a few community retirement homes.
