In my opinion, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is neither trying to be the next Rent (which opened in 1996) or capitalize on Spring Awakening (2007). It is simply what the gentlemen in this interview state, they have created an interesting political satire a la The Daily Show. Art imitates life; this is what people want to see. I hope it does well.

I just saw this. It has nothing in common with Rent or Spring Awakening except a rock score. Everyone shut up.

Also go see it, it's hysterical.

I absolutely love when I go to enjoy a youtube video and find it full of comments going back in forth in a circular argument that never ends. You should all do more of that. If there was a sarcasm font, I would be using it right now.

but don't you get that the musical is also supposed to parody the president and show his hatred of minority groups. Even if it is tasteless don't we have a right to say that is new and clever and original with out just distancing ourself from ideas that have some truth in them. Book of Mormon is also a parody shouldn't we think that is clever I don't . But I think this is clever.

They only made one Idian guy gay but the rest were macho and duped into giving up their land with broken promises. Basically they made Andrew a narcistic, emo, d-bag who wanted to be popular and "give the people want they want". In the end everyone turned on him including the narrator who he shot because she was getting on his nerves. You wanted to hate him and the white people and laugh at their stupidity all at the same time. Don't hate what you don't know. That is ignorance.

..before they hauled him off stage. I cried in that seen and felt remorse for his portrayle. They made Andrew a whiney baby who would cry and stop his feet when he didn't get what he wanted. His father was a rasist hick who was shot in the first few minuets of the play. The President and his board that won the election against Andrew were gay, arragont prickes. The spanish guys were just guys in mustaches in a bar fight scene.
