Hillary Clinton like you’ve never seen her before in ‘Soft Power’
‘Soft Power’Through Sept. 15Signature Theatre4200 Campbell Ave.Arlington, Va.Starting at $40Sigtheatre.org There’s a wonderful scene in “Soft Power” where Hillary Clinton goes underground.
She’s just lost the election and she’s eating a lot of bad takeout and seeing no one. But she’s willing to make an exception for one man.
He’s Xue Xing, a Chinese theatrical producer from Shanghai whom she briefly but memorably met on the campaign trail. Once he convinces her to venture outdoors, Hillary doffs the food-stained robe and dowdy sleeping cap to magically reveal a chic black shirt dress with full skirt and a bouncy bob of blonde tresses.
Next, the duo elegantly dances across the stage (and presumably the country) for a better view of the romantic Golden Gate Bridge.
