capitol steps frequenty asked questions home about the capitol steps live appearances radio shows special albums the capitol steps faq 1 how did the capitol steps begin the capitol steps were born in december 1981 when three staffers for senator charles percy elaina newport jim aidala and the late bill strauss were planning entertainment for a christmas party our first idea was to stage a nativity play but in the whole congress we couldn t find three wise men or a virgin so we decided to dig into the headlines of the day and created song parodies and skits which conveyed a special brand of satirical humor that was as popular in peoria as it was on pennsylvania avenue for more than thirty five years the capitol steps have recorded dozens of albums and appeared on good morning america the today show 20 20 entertainment tonight nightline cnn s inside politics and dozens of times on national public radio s all things considered for the past thirty years we ve produced quarterly specials

scaled down version of the show can i hire just a couple of performers no a capitol steps show always has a minimum of 5 performers and a pianist and we don t offer a smaller version of the show while we understand some groups might not have the budget for the full show we don t want to be competing against ourselves by offering a scaled down less expensive show if you want a slice of the steps you have to buy the whole pie 11 where can i find photos of the capitol steps available for download to use for my event newspaper article military tribunal please visit the capitol steps online press kit once there you will find our group bio high resolution photos please give credit to the corresponding photographer newspaper clippings and other helpful information 12 have the capitol steps ever considered running for office themselves many of the performers have worked on capitol hill some for republicans some for democrats and some for members who sit firmly on the fence in fact the current cast of the capitol steps has at one time or another infested the offices of eleven us senators and seven members of the house of representatives most of these politicians have since been defeated or placed under investigation so we think we ll just stick to singing 13 are the capitol steps appropriate for young children if your child can understand the subjects the capitol steps refer to or is old enough to appreciate a night on the town then please be our guest the capitol steps language is a lot cleaner than dick cheney s that s for sure the capitol steps do not use any profanity in their routines however according to the scandal of the day some songs subjects routines may include suggested innuendo would this go over the heads of most children maybe maybe not the capitol steps encourage you to do your own research be sure to read an example of the text of our backwards talk routine lirty dies this will give you an idea of the closest the capitol steps will come towards an fcc violation 14 how can i subscribe to podcasts if you use itunes subscribe to our podcasts by clicking here you can also copy and paste this url into your favorite podcasting tool http www capsteps
