Bush Sr. Secretly Watched Carson Kressley Perform
10 Oct
Summary
- George H.W. Bush attended a secret performance by Carson Kressley.
- The former president brought his family to the Ogunquit Playhouse.
- The Bush family's visit was kept quiet, with only a few attendees.
In 2010, former President George H.W. Bush and his family made a discreet visit to a performance of "The Drowsy Chaperone" starring Carson Kressley at Maine's Ogunquit Playhouse. The 700-seat venue was sparsely populated, with only the Bush family and Secret Service agents in attendance.
Kressley recalled the experience as initially intimidating but ultimately positive. The article also notes the Bushes' subsequent interest in the musical "Hamilton." Following Barbara Bush's death on April 17, 2018, the "Hamilton" cast visited George H.W. Bush to perform songs from the musical.
Later that year, on the final night of "Hamilton" in Houston, George H.W. Bush attended the show with family. He passed away in late 2018 at age 94.
