The president, who is also now the board chair for the Kennedy Center, convened a meeting of said board on Monday. In a recording of the meeting shared with The Washington Post, Trump and members said they'd like to see Camelot, Cats, Fiddler on the Roof, Hello, Dolly! and The Phantom of the Opera featured at the Kennedy Center. There are a number of practical problems with this wish list, the first of which is that none of those musicals are touring in North America (although a tour of Phantom does launch in November).
The president, in an Evita-like photo-op on Monday, stood in the Kennedy Center's Opera House presidential box, arms outstretched as if there were hundreds of fans below him instead of a handful of handpicked board members.
