Silhouette of Barack Obama in front of a glowing number '44' with stars and stripes, accompanied by the text 'CTG FWD' at the bottom.

Barack Obama's election changed history. And as we can clearly see, it also ended racism forever! But 44 is the story of Obama you won't read about in history books...because history books are now banned in most states. But also because 44 is the story of Obama as Joe Biden kinda sorta remembers it...as a musical.

"44 is smart, sophisticated satire, a hilarious R&B musical stocked with top-drawer talent and comedic invention."
