Disney

May 22nd, 2009

If you have kids and you want to take them to a great show, then I have just the right show idea for you! Get some Playhouse Disney Live tickets and you will get the opportunity to see one of the best family shows around right now. Featuring all your favorite Disney characters from the best preschool shows in the world, you can take your kids on a great adventure through the world of Mickey and his friends. The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse will be having a big party and you’re invited. But Mickey is looking for the best music for the party. He enlists the help of the Little Einsteins, as well as Pooh, Tigger and Darby and Handy Manny and they end up finding the best music around! It’s a great show and you shouldn’t miss it when it comes to your town!

Andrew Jackson Roasted

May 18th, 2009

 

Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is one of the newest shows in the off-Broadway world and it’s also one of the most unusual. It is a concert version of the life of Andrew Jackson, president of the US back in the 1830s. He is regarded as a strong president, but also a scourge for lots of people in the world. This production does an interesting job of battling out against the character, who seems to be reduced to a caricature of a person. He acts a lot like the way that American culture expects a hero to be, only weak in a way that we can accept and otherwise always virtuous. It’s a tough character to portray, but the creators clearly don’t like him at all, showing this with the costuming and sets that make it seem that he lives in a ridiculous world. A caricature of the world of the pioneers. Check out the full review!
