Though a few songs and all of the first act need tightening, "9 to 5" at the Ahmanson has the elements of a likely hit when it goes to Broadway.

My only problem with "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" is the fact that there isn't enough music. Benjamin Walker is a true punk rock hero and commands the stage as the obnoxious and intriguing Jackson, dressed in tight clothes, combat boots and utility belt complete with gun and microphone.
