Figured this was probably going to be the case. A piece in the Chicago Tribune indicates that President-elect Obama has been invited to a VIP performance of the play on Feb. 11, but no word on whether he plans to attend.

The cast hasn't been formally announced by Ford's, so that's not the writer's fault.
