One of the best shows I've seen in over 20 years
by CAAnderson on 5/18/16Kirk Douglas THeater - Culver CityI've been a theater subscriber at the LA Music Center for over 20 years. Then this show first opened in Culver City back in 2008, I bought tickets to have a "date night" with my (then) girlfriend. The show was outrageous - actors gallivanting all around the Kirk Douglas Theater, loud rock music, the foul language. But at the end of the show, I thought it was poignant, entertaining, irreverent, and historical. I attend the theater 6 to 8 times a year. This show made me yearn to learn more about Jackson, and with the recent arrival of "Hamilton" (coming to LA in 2017), I re-visited this play and the music. I would love for this show to come back to a local venue as I want to take my wife to see it. We are already planning to see "Hamilton" and this would be a great segue to that. And with all the controversy surrounding the 7th President and what he did that is being construed today as "barbaric, cruel and downright evil", let us not forget that Jackson won the Battle of New Orleans, abolished the Second Bank, and formed the Democratic Party, AND balanced the budget (zero deficit). I still consider him an American Hero
