‘POTUS’ carries a clown car of caricatures onto Broadway
Welcome to Curtain Call, our mostly queer take on the latest theater openings on Broadway and beyond.The Rundown:POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive tells you what it is: a farce. But this new play boasting a megawatt cast, including Julie White, Vanessa Williams, Rachel Dratch, and Lea DeLaria, seems to have taken a swallow of the very male toxicity it pokes fun at.No Tea, No Shade:Plays written by women, directed by women, and starring women are rare — if not non-existent, making POTUS a unicorn on Broadway.But POTUS is not a high-minded beast.
