The Fix is an extremely cynical musical take on American politics in the sixties and seventies. It is loosely reminiscent of the political shenanigans of the Kennedy dynasty.
Signature has mounted a great set with a portico resembling the White House, which sets the stage for some highly graphic sex scenes. A scandal-plagued political dynasty is sputtering along, when the younger generation is suddenly expected to take on the mantle, when Daddy has a heart attack during sex with his mistress.
The Mafia, Machiavellian Mama, and impressively athletic dancing by the lead, "Cal Chandler" keep the story going. The singing, acting and dancing are always stellar at Signature.
Is this a typical storyline for musicals, i.e., boy meets girl? Oh, no! But in this stewpot of boiling political scandals that we call Washington, DC, it certainly is apropos.
