Washington, D.C. is the capitol of the US, but 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is not exactly a fashion capitol, especially since absent-minded President William Lee is running the country. He’s too busy with domestic and international politics to worry about whether his striped tie clashes with his plaid pants and argyle socks. When the press and his re-election opponent take a stab at the chief-of-state’s wardrobe, erstwhile ‘tailors’ pose as wardrobe consultants to strip President Lee down to his “bare” essentials, and have him deliver a nationally televised debate in an “invisible” suit, allegedly only visible to honest, trustworthy and loyal constituents. Add to the campaign fever a salami-hoarding terrorist, Yesiah Minsain; Vice President Green, an environmental fanatic; plus a patriotic, chaotic chorus of reporters, White House staff, and secret service agents, and Stephen Murray’s witty, tuneful score, and we have a musical comedy that is sure to rank high in the audience polls.
