If President William Jefferson Clinton behaved like two different people—one moment noble, the next naughty—that’s because he was! Clinton The Musicalexplores the two very different sides of the 42nd President of the United States: ‘WJ,’ the wholesome, intelligent one, and ‘Billy,’ the randy, charming one. With Hillary Clinton at their side, the two will handle issues from The White House to Whitewater, the sax to the sex, social security to social climbers, and in the process make history. Maybe.
