The Australian premiere of Who's Your Baghdaddy, or How I Started The Iraq War will be streamed completely live for five nights at 7.30pm from 24 to 28 June, 2020.

Inspired by real-world events, the musical takes place in a narrative frame in which the cast and audience attend an AA-style support group for people who started the Iraq War. The cast includes CIA operatives, an Iraqi informant, and a BND operative.

Who's Your Baghdaddy, or How I Started The Iraq War focuses on the recruitment and eventual disgrace of an Iraqi defector, codenamed "Curveball," and the use and misuse of his testimony by the CIA, State Department, and Bush Administration. In reality, Curveball provides Western intelligence agencies with false intelligence on Iraqi mobile weapons laboratories. This intelligence, which is later discovered to have been fabricated, was used by Secretary of State Colin Powell in his 2003 speech to the UN Security Council to justify the invasion of Iraq and overthrow of Saddam Hussein.

Starring Blake Erickson, Phillip Lowe, Laura Murphy, Matthew Predny, Adam Rennie, Katrina Retallick, Justin Smith and Troy Sussman.

Proudly presented by Curve Ball Creative. Tickets are $22.30 and can be purchase here.

Enjoy a live performance of Who's Your Baghdaddy, or How I Started The Iraq War in your living room from 24 to 28 June 2020.
