Don, get ‘Facts’ on Broadway

The producers of Daniel Radcliffe’s Broadway show about truth in journalism are extending a formal invite to President Trump and the First Lady — as a teaching moment.

“While we respect how you like to challenge facts, to create ‘alternative facts,’ we invite you to spend ninety minutes with us and face this hot button issue head on, in the dark, in a theater, of all places,” reads the invite from producers Jeffrey Richards, Deanna Twain and Will Trice.

In “The Lifespan of a Fact,” Radcliffe, who starred in the “Harry Potter” film franchise, plays a fact-checker to a controversial magazine writer played by Bobby Cannavale who’s known for bending the truth.

The producers also suggested that Trump might learn how to better spot “fake news” about himself after seeing the show. They appealed to Trump’s history as a Broadway player to make their invite more alluring. In 1970, Trump, then 23, invested in the comedy “Paris is Out!” which fizzled out after fewer than 100 performances.

This isn’t the first time a member of the Trump family was invited to a play that subtly underscored the administration’s practices.

In March 2017, First Daughter Ivanka Trump attended a performance of “Come From Away,” about a small Canadian town that unconditionally welcomes thousands of foreigners whose planes were grounded as a precaution during the Sept. 11 terror attacks in New York and Washington.

Vice President Pence — who has his own controversial history with the Great White Way — was cc’d on the “Fact” invite. Monday marks the two-year anniversary of Pence being lectured by the cast of “Hamilton” from the stage after he and his family took in a performance at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. President Trump called that dressing down “rude” and added that he understood the show — which won 11 Tony Awards and a Grammy— to be “highly overrated.”
