Review

Bush-hating has become fun again . . . audiences go crazy! --Jason Zinoman, New York Times, October 29, 2005

Product Description

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.”

Somewhat outdated now, but hilarious in a way that keeps you laughing and nodding. And singing! Those were the bad old days! Especially loved In HIs Own Words.

I heartily enjoyed the CD - recorded during a couple of live performances of "Bush is Bad". The cast is talented, the music is tuneful, and the lyrics are clever. I especially chuckled over "New Hope for the Fabulously Wealthy".

I bought the CD last year and I enjoy it so much I don't go a week without listening to it. I love to laugh. The New york cast is great. I got the amazing opportunity to see the more updated show in North Hollywood at the NOHO Arts Center. This cast was wonderful as well. It was well worth the 6 hour drive. I hope they make a new CD soon. I'll be waiting.....
