Search - Joshua Rosenblum, Kate Baldwin, Michael McCoy :: Bush is Bad

BUSH IS BAD is a hilarious, cathartic and unabashedly partisan new revue by Joshua Rosenblum, playing at New York City's Triad Theatre. BUSH IS BAD, which has been described as a cross between Forbidden Broadway and The Daily Show, offers catchy tunes, wickedly funny lyrics and scathing impersonations of the president and his dissembling gang of conspirators. Among the best-reviewed new musicals of the season, it has been described as ?savvy, uproarious, [and] delicious,? with ?lyrics that draw blood and melodies that stick in the brain,? eliciting ?raucous, borderline orgasmic reactions.? The New York Times declared that ?Bush-hating has become fun again!? BUSH IS BAD stars Kate Baldwin, Neal Mayer and Michael McCoy, and is directed and choreographed by Gary Slavin with musical direction by Rosenblum. Costumes are by Anne Auberjonois, with lighting and sound by Tonya Pierre. Song titles include ?How Can 59 Million People Be So Dumb?,? ?Good Conservative Values,? ?The Gay Agenda,? and ?New Hope for the Fabulously Wealthy.? There are also riffs on how famous composers of the past would have treated the ?Bush is Bad? theme, with German Romantic composer Robert Schumann?s ?Das Busch ist Schlecht,? and a transformation of Kurt Weill?s ?Surabaya, Johnny? into a lament by Laura Bush called ?Sure, You Betcha, Georgie.?
