"Donnie and Vlad: The Musical"
Inspired by actual events:
Vlad, a current president, and Donnie, a former one, both under arrest warrants, accept an offer from Rudolf M. Lachlan, a billionaire media mogul, to sneak them out of their respective countries and hide them at his secret villa in Tenerife (“Me and my Buddy”). Soon after arriving, however, they find that Bonder Jameson, a relentless Interpol agent, is hot on their trail and just arrived ("Ketchup Stains" ).
Vlad and Donnie manage to slip Jameson and convince the captain of a tramp steamer to let them sail away on the ship. That’s when they discover that Ivan Armyalski, a general sent to Siberia the previous year, and Mal P. Ractice, one of Donnie’s previous lawyers, are also on the ship (“Damn, it’ a Small World”). After narrow escapes, and having no other choice, Vlad and Donnie push Ivan and Mal out of a fourth-deck porthole (“Polonium or Window”).
The ship arrives at the tiny South American country of Tangonia, where Vlad and Donnie find work as bartenders (“Ketchup and Vodka”). But before long, they realize that Jameson is still hot on their trail. They escape again and find their way to a tiny town in the boonies, where Vlad and Donnie reminisce about their previous lives (“Topless on a Horse” and “The Art of the Scam”). This is where they decide to hide forever and open a theatre that runs drag shows.
But Jameson finds them anyway (“I Got You Now, Sucka”) and, with the help of Mossad agents, kidnaps them and transports them to Guantanamo, where they are sentenced to life and assigned to the prisoner’s laundry (“Me and my Buddy,” reprise).
When this gets to Broadway, remember: you saw it here first.
