Politics have long been fodder for Broadway plays and musicals. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was even a sitting president when he appeared as a character (played by George M. Cohan) in the 1937 musical I'd Rather Be Right (book by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, lyrics by Lorenz Hart, and music by Richard Rodgers).
