BWW Reviews: Fun But Under Prepared BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON From ArtsWest
There were just a few too many things stacked up against ArtsWest's production of "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" for me to completely get into it. With issues ranging from the technical to the presentation, I found it difficult to become immersed in this highly stylized tale. Yes, there were many fun and wonderful moments on opening night but they kept being overshadowed by a production that felt it could used a little more ripening.

ArtsWest Presents Northwest Premiere of BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON, Now thru 10/20
Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is an emo-rock musical, a political satire, and it's both funny and disturbing. In keeping with the mission of ArtsWest, it's a fiercely compelling event that will surely inspire conversation. It's a blast from the past that parallels today's political climate, depicting the birth of Democracy soaked in Emocracy and testosterone. The show reveals our nation's growing pains, and those of Jackson himself. He was unexpectedly famous, and thrust into leading a country. He is sometimes called the American Hitler. He asked for forgiveness rather than permission for what he did.
