## Resource

A razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud musical satire about J. Edgar Hoover is rocking Islington—and it’s a revelation. Written by Harry Shearer and Tom Leopold, this biting comedy dives into the life of the FBI’s most notorious boss, blending dark history with dazzling songs and campy performances. Brian Batt steals the show as Hoover, morphing from ruthless G-man to lovestruck rogue in a secret affair with Clyde Tolson. Equal parts hilarious, poignant, and socially charged, the production’s energy and wit have audiences standing ovation-worthy—and it’s poised to move to the West End. If you love musicals that bite as much as they entertain, this one’s a must-see before it closes August 16th. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
