Critical Reaction

"The most entertaining and most perceptive political theater of the season. ...Mr. Friedman [writes] rousing, nose-thumbing anthems in the ironically sincere (or sincerely ironic) style known as emo. ...What Mr. Timbers and Mr. Friedman are examining is a fierce emotionalism in American politics that transcends party lines and has existed for centuries. Though the United States may have been founded on the rational principles of the Enlightenment, this show suggests that what really makes it run – then and now – is the crazy, mixed-up energy of enduring adolescence. ...Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson manages to be a goofy delight and a perversely affecting comment on the American temperament at the same time."
