Famous for putting the ‘mock’ in democracy, the Capitol Steps have become an annual Thanksgiving weekend tradition at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. The irreverent group charms audiences on both sides of the aisle with its unique brand of political humor set to popular music. While the Steps are renowned for poking fun at occupants of the White House, no one is safe from their wickedly funny jabs, from Democrats to Republicans and from Congress to the Supreme Court.
Depending on the scandal of the day, the Steps will perform selections from their up-to-the-minute repertoire, including songs and skits from their latest albums, Obama Mia and Barackin’ Around the Christmas Tree, with special ‘guest appearances’ by President and Nobel Prize winner Barack Obama, Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, Nancy Pelosi and many more.
The Capitol Steps’ performances are sponsored in laughing memory of Steve Simon by his family and are presented with support from Marriott Suites Scottsdale Old Town.
