“WHO RUN THE WORLD: A Madwomen’s Cabaret” is a one-woman madcap musical fever dream featuring  a parade of history’s most powerful women visiting a certain presidential candidate on the eve of her nomination with words of caution, advice and inspiration in the form of hilarious song parodies and a tour-de-“farce” performance by Julie Lyn Barber.  The quick-change cabaret features over a dozen historic characters paired with parodies of classic songs to comic effect.  When the “Hillary-ous” candidate falls into a hallucinatory fog just prior to delivering her nomination speech, she finds herself face-to-face with sonorous supporters including Cleopatra singing “Don’t Asp Me Why”, Queen Victoria asking “Do You Want To Know A Secret?”, Eleanor Roosevelt pining “Teeth Me Tonight”, Catherine the Great praising “All The Things You Czar”, Indira Gandhi crooning “Bang! Bang! Bangladesh!” and Margaret Thatcher revealing that the “Iron Lady is a Tramp.”  Other historical figures portrayed by Ms. Barber include Empress Theodora, Empress Wu Zetien, Empress Maria Theresa, Queen Isabella I of Castille, Elanor of Aquataine, Joan of Arc, Queen Elizabeth I and Golda Meier.
