Recently Updated

"The Fix" is a political satire musical that follows the story of Cal Chandler, a young senator who has grown up in a family of politicians. When his father, a senator, dies suddenly, Cal is determined to follow in his father's footsteps and become the next senator. However, his campaign quickly takes a turn for the worse when he becomes embroiled in a scandal involving a stripper. With the help of his ambitious and cunning wife, Cal attempts to cover up the scandal and keep his campaign afloat.

As Cal becomes more and more entangled in the corruption and deceit of the political world, he begins to lose sight of his original ideals and the reasons he wanted to run for office in the first place. The show explores themes of power, corruption, and morality, and features a score by John Dempsey and book and lyrics by Dempsey and Jeremy Ford.

"The Fix" originally premiered in London's Donmar Warehouse in 1997 before transferring to the West End, and it has since had productions in the United States and Australia. It has been praised for its sharp wit and biting commentary on the political landscape, as well as its catchy musical numbers and memorable characters.
