0n Thursday November 10th I saw Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson which was written by Michael Friedman and directed by Alex Timbers. The play was about the seventh President of the United States Andrew Jackson. In addition, the play talked about his history, and how he fought for his country in a musical and funny way. Also, it talked about when he became a President. It was very good experience to learn about him, and how he loves people and listen to them. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is the first musical play I've gone to. I thought it wouldn’t be very good, but when I saw it I liked it. There are some factors made the play successful which are the music, the stage, and the actors. Music and the songs played important roles in the play. The whole play was based on music. The story was told by songs which made it funny by learning from songs. Furthermore, the music was emotional when something sorrowful …show more content…
The man who played Andrew's character was very agitated. I didn’t like his acting in the first time. However, I was impressed when I saw him in the scene when he was declaiming his speech. Furthermore, when he asked Black Fox to sign and they were arguing, not in the stage, but between the audiences. Also, they try to connect with the audiences while they sing. They have a lot of skills that made them good actors and actresses, such as when they sing and act orderly in the same time. There acting made the play very funny and good
In conclusion, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson play was very enthusiastic, and it was totally worth seeing it. Music has the most important role in the play, and how it touched the audiences' feelings. The stage size was very helpful to make the actors and the actresses move easily. Also, the actors and the actresses have a lot of skills that made their acting very good. Finally, I thought the musical plays were very boring. I, however, enjoyed this pay very much, and it was worth watching
Curtis is extremely knowledgeable about the life of Andrew Jackson. It can be said that Curtis’s main purpose for writing this book was to give extensive information about Andrew Jackson’s life. Curtis is able to show the readers the positive things in Jackson’s life by telling more about his flaws. In the author’s preface, Curtis tells us that “To recognize that Andrew Jackson was troubled, that he feared death, that his emotions ran to extremes may diminish his reputation as a demigod but not as human being” (Author’s Preface X).
When I attended Shrek the Musical put on by Wylie High Schools Theater Department, I admit that I did not have high expectations. I had always enjoyed the Shrek movies, but was not prepared to witness the green Ogre come to life before my eyes. From the moment the characters marched down the isle of the auditorium, it was evident that many talented people had put time in effort into making this performance enjoyable and memorable. Shrek the Musical consisted of a tremendous cast, beautiful music, awe inspiring scenery in addition to heart felt imagery.
For those of us who are theatre connoisseurs, the hilarious mind of Steve Martin writing a play is a dream come true. Martin’s career is a roller coaster ride, changing from dramatic to comic effortlessly. Picasso at the Lapin Agile provides the audience with subtle as well as obvious comedy, factually structured storylines, and a glimpse into the mind of a true theatrical professional. Inspired by his love of art, Picasso at the Lapin Agile is a farcical masterpiece, written by one of the greatest comedians of all time; Steve Martin.
James C. Curtis’ “Andrew Jackson and the Search for Vindication” was actually a well thought out and interesting book. Curtis obviously does his research, and the story is very detailed. It is very easy to get lost in the story. Although some parts were really boring and some sentences were run on sentences, but for the most part it was a good story. Curtis wanted the readers of this book to have the whole perspective of Jackson’s life, and where he comes from.
The story about his wife, Rachel, caught my attention. I can’t imagine how she must have felt for having her past pointed out, and to have Jackson’s rivals using that against him was just…awful. Besides that, it was interesting to see everyone’s perception of Jackson back then. The Indians saw him as someone cruel as the devil, while those from the lower class liked him because they could relate to him. I wonder what opinions we might get if we asked people nowadays about their views on Andrew Jackson.
Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye. What do all of these musical legends have in common? They were all, and continue to be, recognized as legendary superstars in the music industry, whether they are alive or not. But without label-founder Berry Gordy, their stardom would not exist and their unknown reputations would die with them. Motown:
Andrew Jackson was a horrible person that somehow slipped into the position of President of the United States. Andrew Jackson was so controversial because he would do things for the country like getting more land available to the settlers but in order to do all of that he needed to commit mass genocide of the Native Americans and lie to other government officials to get his way. Andrew Jackson did many villainous things while he was in the position as president and all these acts can show you that he was a monster that only became president to get what he wants and do what he wants. The most evil thing that Andrew Jackson ever did was the Trail of Tears, an event where the removal of the Native Americans across the already established United States forced them to
Andrew Jackson was a very intense and serious person, so when he was confronted with a problem he could handle it no matter how bad, he got down to business. He was also a man who cared about his country and would not accept any sort of treason. One of many problems he had to face was the Indian tribes, many people argue that he disliked the Indians, and many also disagreed. Andrew jackson killed many native americans, but he also had a native american son.
There are many different perspectives of Andrew Jackson. Some people think that he is a hero, but others may feel that he is a villain. Despite starting out with a humble beginning and enduring numerous tragedies, Jackson grew up to be a fierce and merciless fighter who always succeeded. His many personalities included a strong will and an arrogant attitude. He didn’t care about the thoughts of anyone, he always did what he thought was beneficial to him proving that he was in fact a villain.
Andrew Jackson was a hero to America. He served as a great seventh president for this country.

Guys and Dolls is one of the most memorable works by Frank Loesser. It features many standards used in the American Musical Theatre cannon today. The real draw is the script: based on stories by Damon Runyon and spruced up by ‘His Girl Friday’ scribe Ben Hecht, it strikes such a perfect blend of salty and sweet that it’s almost a shame when the band strikes up and the jazz hands come out. Brando is hulking charisma personified, scrawny Sinatra still has the most remarkable voice ever committed to two-channel audio, and the pastel-shaded, neon-lit sets are a marvel. Oh, and lest we forget, the two main characters are called Sky Masterson and Nathan Detroit, which should give you some idea of the depth of deep cool we’re talking here, pops.

Some call him a “Broadway master” because his musical Phantom of the Opera surpassed his own record for the musical Cats to now hold the record for the longest running musical on Broadway as well as London’s West End ( Snelson 1).
