BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON (Canadian Premier 2017) - Fighting Chance Productions, Vancouver, BC (Set Build - Tim Driscoll) I was asked, three days before load in, if I could do the build for this set. It was designed, but the build crew fell through!! Over a full day and loooooong move-in evening, I manage to re-purpose the walls, risers and railings from a previous set into what you see. I think it turned out pretty well! [Photos - Allyson Fournler]

Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson and Hamilton: A Comparison

Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson and Hamilton: A Comparison

I recently looked up a show called Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson on YouTube. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is a punk/emo rock musical based on the life of our notorious sixth president, Andrew Jackson. Even though it predates the smash hit, Hamilton, it feels like a follow up piece  and the two musicals beg for a comparison. Both Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson and Hamilton seek to do a similar thing:…

Hamilton Hipster and Bloody Boody Andrew Jackson

I feel like such a hipster when it comes to the Hamilton musical because I saw it at the Public before it went to Broadway and can't help the snooty voice in my head that's like I liked Hamilton before it was cool.

Honestly, when I first heard of Hamilton I thought it was going to be a retread of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson. Another musical from the Public about an American historical political figure using contemporary musical idioms. But I was actually okay with that because I LOVED Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson.

The thing is, BBAJ is a really great musical and one I love. Hamilton is a masterpiece, and one of the greatest shows I've ever seen.

It's clear that BBAJ came out while Miranda was still working on Hamilton, and one wonders if he thought it was stealing his thunder or would negatively impact the reception of his show. Maybe he knew enough not to worry. There are a lot of differences between the two shows, but the key one is probably the core detached irony and at times sophomoric humor at the heart of BBAJ (Ex: "I'm going to fill you with popula-jism!") which probably has a lot to do with why it failed when it moved to Broadway. Hamilton, on the other hand, has its heart firmly in the world of human emotions and the plight of its characters. It's not that it's more serious, per se, but that it's willing to be earnest about its characters emotions, while BBAJ has Jackson and his wife sexually cutting each other and talking about Susan Sontag.

And fundamentally earnest emotions are always going to carry your narrative farther and make it more approachable than ironic detachment and intellectual references, as much as we might appreciate those things.

The Saddest Songs

And this country I'm making will not be divided, The will of the people won't stand in my way, How can I tell you how deeply I'll make them all bleed? And so I'll sing the saddest songs, For enemies who did me wrong, And the war will go on And on and on And on and on and on As long as we need
