Everything sounds better when set to music, though on might argue that President Bill Clinton‘s life story has been operatic even without the addition of music. Nevertheless, auditions for Billy Blythe are being held today in Little Rock Arkansas “a coming of age story set in the late 1950′s in Hot Springs.”

According to reports, the opera “will explain how the natural state helped shape and mold the man we now know as President Bill Clinton.”

The title comes from the former President’s birth name, William Jefferson Blythe III, and the plot will focus on “a pivotal moment in Billy Blythe’s coming of age because he has to stand up to his step-father, Roger Clinton, in a life-changing domestic conflict.” So probably no Monica Lewinsky cameos.

Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky
