Bush Is Bad Is Good! Review by: Carol, Dec 11, 2006 |
| Savvy people loved this show. It's biting and clever. I think it's one of the best things off-Broadway or on for that matter. |

My recommendation:
must see!

3 Thumbs down Review by: Abdul, Oct 2, 2006 |
| This was very unfactual and unrealistic. Bush has made many mistakes as President, but this performance was ridiculous. The acting was reasonable, but I only recommend this as a comedy if you find inaccuracy and hate amusing. |

Loved it! Review by: , Jul 10, 2006 |
| We took out of town guests and all of us loved it. We thought it was so incredibly clever -- with lots of great lyrics and terrific performances. We're all Democrats and, no doubt, that helped! Highly recommended! |

Review by: MisterOpinion, Feb 1, 2006 |
The title says it all. If you religiously watch Fox News, think John McCain is a leftist or cling to the hope that our current President is more richly endowed in the top story than he’s letting on, stay away. After all, when the reminder at the top of the show to turn off cell phones and unwrap candies also includes a warning that “anyone who thinks they might take offense as we ridicule that smirking chimp who currently ... read more occupies the White House should probably leave right now,” you know something’s up.
This small review (three singers and their piano accompaniment) attempts to skewer not just the President, but Dick Cheney, members of the Cabinet, Republican members of Congress – in fact, every person who voted for George Bush. Witness their opening number, “How can 59 million people be so dumb?” (Which was the headline in a London tabloid the day after the 2004 election.) There were several very funny numbers, especially a trio of tunes that paid tribute to “great” composers of the past: Robert Schumann, Kurt Weill…and my favorite, Andrew Lloyd Webber, via their rendition of “Scooter Libby Superstar.” Brilliant. (But unfortunately, NOT on the CD I purchased at the show.)
The final number uses Bush quotes as the lyrics for “In His Own Words.” The chorus goes: “Families is where our nation finds hope, where our wings take dream. If we don’t succeed, we run the risk of failure. It is a time of sorrow and sadness when we lose the loss of a life. Put food on your family. Make the pie higher.”
A nice enough evening, but you can get better (and more balanced) political humor out of “The Daily Show.” |
