President Donald Trump and his family have inspired a new Off-Broadway cabaret show which has been promoted by former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci.
The political consultant, who was fired from the White House after an 11-day stint a year ago, lent his name to The 1st Annual Trump Family Special which opens in New York on September 13.
‘I think they’d find this very funny,’ Mr Scaramucci said of the first family. ‘They know how to take a joke.’

He added that the show’s ‘kernels of truth make good satire.’
Mr Scaramucci and President Trump do not appear in the production, which characters include the president’s children Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric, along with ex-wives Ivana Trump and Marla Maples, and U.S. Vice President Mike Pence.
Gina Gershon, best known for the title role in the kitsch movie classic Showgirls, will star as first lady Melania Trump.
The show plans to be modeled after old TV specials featuring such 1970s acts as The Osmonds, The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family.

Gershon, who has also acted as a kinky lesbian in ‘Bound’ and Donatella Versace, sister of assassinated designer Gianni Versace, looked the part at a recent press conference at The Princeton Club of New York.
‘It goes without saying that this show will be best,’ she said as Melania Trump.
‘I think this would be a very, very encouraging and lively show that shows the family exactly as they are.’
Lyrics from the show, which will run through December, comment on headlines ‘written by the liberal fake news.’
