Summary:
It's the year 2776, and an Alien (Martha Plimpton) has come to destroy the Earth. It's up to the President (Will Forte), his jaded Secret Service agent (Aubrey Plaza), and a cranky George Washington (Paul F. Tompkins) to stop her. And the only thing they have on their side are: 82 Emmy, Grammy, and Tony winning comics, actors, and musicians. Includes 28 all-new original comedy-music tracks, and taking satirical aim at everything American (sports, sex, media, race, religion, history, rock n' roll, technology, and of course, zombie boy bands); there is 12 musical genres (from bluegrass to hip-hop to heavy metal, from ragtime to rap to Broadway, and everything in between); countless unthinkable collaborations, like... - Reggie Watts (Comedy Bang Bang), Right Said Fred, & Mayim Bialik (Big Bang Theory), NPR's Nina Totenberg singing rock opera - Patton Oswalt playing God, accompanied by Muddy Waters' guitarist ; Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, backed by a Grammy-winning Dixieland band - Dick Cavett, Dick Gregory, Joe Franklin and Al Jaffee squaring off against Margaret Cho. 2776 is one epic comedy-musical journey through America's past, present, and future. Produced entirely to support one great cause: OneKid OneWorld. What will happen? Who knows? Because "2776" is like nothing that's ever been seen in America, on Earth, or even by Aliens.
