In this sardonically frolicsome, unabashedly sophomoric emo musical, America's seventh president is transformed into a moody hipster icon. Written and directed by Alex Timbers and featuring a tongue-in-cheek score by Michael Friedman, the work follows the revisionist account of Jackson's legacy, with special emphasis on the role "Old Hickory" played in plundering Native American lands. Though the production starts on a delightfully demented note, the adventurous concept is ultimately more winning than the execution.
