NYC VIBE was invited by master mimic Rich Little to watch rehearsals for his just opened Broadway play: “Trial on the Potomac, The Impeachment of Richard Nixon”

This marks Rich Little’s Broadway debut for this limited run performance

Rich Little has mastered more than 200 voice impressions throughout his career, including U.S. Presidents: John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, both George Bushes, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and is now working on perfecting Joe Biden.

Rich Little has a voice for every administration. Infamous for his skewering of political figures, Little has charmed, amused, intrigued and entertained politicians from here to his native Canada. He entertained at both of Reagan's presidential inaugurations and got to know the Reagans very well during that time. President Reagan used to tell Little, “You do me better than I do.”

The play uncovers real-life findings, newly discovered evidence revealing a conspiracy to destroy the Nixon presidency.

The concept is a powerful one and these are the questions answered in George Bugatti's play-based on the book, “The Real Watergate Scandal,” by Geoff Shepard, a lawyer who worked in the Nixon White House during the Watergate scandal. Like the book that inspired it, the play brings to light Shepard's real-life findings, newly discovered evidence revealing a conspiracy to destroy the Nixon presidency. Bugatti's play, starring the legendary Rich Little in the dramatic role of Nixon, takes these revelations and puts them on trial, with new evidence and documents.

He has spent much of his career researching Watergate issues and is today the foremost authority on behind-the-scenes developments, both at the White House and the Watergate Special Prosecution Force, as the scandal unfolded.

He has written three books, given dozens of lectures, and written dozens of essays. He is technical consultant to this stage play.

As for the audience, they will make up their own minds after hearing and seeing the evidence!
