On behalf of all the Capitol Steps, I want to tell you how much the group enjoyed performing at the KUER show on October 17th. They were a terrific audience!

What a pleasure it was meeting you and working with the team at KUER. I haven’t had that much fun in ages. It was truly special—what a team you’ve developed. Many thanks and we’ll talk soon.

On the brink of the 2012 presidential election, KUER hosted the political satire troupe, the Capitol Steps. The group has been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS, and throughout the year on KUER during their Politics Takes a Holiday radio specials. The cast sang musical parodies about the hilarities of the election race while constantly changing props and attire. The evening’s performance ended with a special reception with KUER staff and members at Abravanel Hall.
