Man of La Manchin

Overview

Democratic Senator Joe Manchin III is eaten alive in this new comedic musical that’s not at all based on Man of La Mancha. Absurd, grotesque, and for legal purposes, 100% satire, Manchin serves up a radical dish that just might feed the soul of a nation in need of liberation.
