Here Comes J. Edgar! A Comedy Musical @ Kings Head Theatre

As Director of the FBI from 1924 to 1972, J. Edgar Hoover secured his position as one of the most powerful men in America by gathering information on the private lives of others. Yet behind all the power lay the secret of his own sexuality, his flamboyant partying and his lifelong love affair with his deputy Clyde Tolson. Co-written by legendary satirist and performer, Harry Shearer (The Simpsons, Spinal Tap) and acclaimed comedy writer Tom Leopold (Cheers, Seinfeld) with music composed by Peter Matz (Barbara Streisand, Burt Bacharach), Here Comes J. Edgar! tells this weird and twisted story. This is the World Premiere of an irrepressible musical comedy about the love of power and the power of love, and what a simple black dress and a single strand of pearls can do for a guy!
