Reader reviews: Write a review | Read more reviews 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.

Maria Los Angeles, CA Absolutely wonderful!!! I've seen it once and am going to go again. Definitely targeted towards a younger audience but the performers are on top of their game. January 31, 2008
Michelle LA, CA So sorry to report that this is why people make fun of LA theater. The jokes were funny if you were a DUMB kid and the whole show was built endlessly around them. Peewee's Playhouse was so much funnier. My dog pooping is funnier. It was a packed house and 3/4 of the audience sat in stunned silence because this show was neither funny nor dramatic. And if you think this show is hip, you must be living in solitary confinement. Reality tv is better than this. Disney channel is hysterical. MTV is briliant. This one belongs to the kiddies, so produce it for them...during assembly. TCG - you undermine LA theater with this one. January 29, 2008
Steve Los Feliz, CAI think the person below must be one of the oldsters I saw walking out when I saw this fantastic show! I had a bloody bloody awesome time! The cast did a great job and I loved the music. Kudos to those that decided to produce it! I hope they keep presenting this type of material at the Kirk Douglas and drive the grandma's out. Bring it on! Write a review | Read more reviews Current, Upcoming
