Everything old is news again!  It's 1984. NUCLEAR FOLLIES is a topical musical comedy revue about an inept President flanked by a war-hawk General and a teflon aide getting all their impending WWIII bulletins from a single news network, rife with advice on the evacuation of New York and  the best ways to survive a nuclear blast. 

Once WWIII starts, the President takes refuge at a Shelter Cabaret with the best remaining entertainers around. Song titles include, "Evil Russian Guys," "The Triumph of Ideology," "Star Wars Blues," "Winnable War," and "Nuclear War Really Brings Me Down." 

Each performance of Nuclear Follies will begin with a politically topical stand-up performance by locally and nationally renowned comics including
