FOR THREE consecutive nights, “Election 2012” the comedy by Michael Pintard delivered performances to a sold out audience at the National Centre for the Performing Arts and the Rain Forest Theatre.

The weekend was a busy one, with a number of events competing for the attention of Bahamians. Election 2012 had such a good showing it is scheduling a encore performance this week. Branville McCartney, Democratic National Alliance party leader made an on stage appearance in the show.

Carol Lynn, who attended the show, told Tribune Entertainment: “I came all the way from the island to watch the show and I can tell you that I was not disappointed at all. It seems as if election jokes do not get old because on the night that I attended, it was sold out to capacity.”

Another patron, Kayla Johnson, said she had belly aching laughs. “It was a family affair for us because half of my family members attended and they all enjoyed it. My hat goes off to Mr Michael Pintard and his team for putting together such an awesome show. I also understand it did well in Grand Bahama,” said Ms Johnson.

According to organisers, the show will rerun from Thursday to Saturday at the Rainforest Theatre, Wyndham Nassau Resort, beginning at 8pm.

Mr Pintard said it would be an enjoyable production that is guaranteed to “lower the political temperature in the country”.

The theatrical production is brought to you by the same writers and producer of “Election 2002: If You Don’t Laugh, You’ll Cry” and “Election 2007: Count It Again Man, Count It Again.

The popular cast from the previous shows will be back by popular demand, including: Will Stubbs, David Wallace, Patrice Johnson, Tameka Forbes, Tawari Rogers and Michael Pintard. There will be guest appearances by Mr Bamboozle, Howard Johnson, Pakesia Parker, Cassius Stuart and many others including PLP and DNA candidates.
