Review: Hatcher and Poling have fun with Jesse James’ downfall in this History Theatre musical

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:04:55 GMT

Sometimes you have to expose a historical figure for the awful person they were. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun doing it.That’s the approach undertaken by playwright Jeffrey Hatcher and composer Chan Poling in creating “The Defeat of Jesse James,” a new musical that premiered this weekend at St. Paul’s History Theatre. It examines a 19th-century outlaw who became a folk legend — and has been portrayed in a positive light by many a piece of popular culture — and makes clear that his life didn’t offer much worth admiring.But this strong stand against historical revisionism is rooted in the rock and roll aesthetic, loaded with laughter, and told from the perspective of one outlandish character after another. It carries on a very appealing recent tradition at History Theatre, throwing together rock music and comedy to tell stories of Minnesota’s past, something Hatcher and Poling did with the enormously successful “Glensheen,” followed by Mark Jensen and Gary Rue w...

Keeler: Avs fans, could we please skip Valeri Nichushkin, Nazem Kadri revisionist history?

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:04:55 GMT

There’s a fine, delicate line between hindsight and yanking theories out of one’s posterior in a pinch. In case you forgot, Nazem Kadri vanished for eight playoff games with the Avs in 2021 — critical ones, too — due to his own demons.Nasty Naz missed another five with Toronto during the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs. And three more while the 2018 postseason cranked up. All suspensions. All self-inflicted wounds that helped to sink Kadri’s teams at their most critical, desperate junctures of the season.Roster construction with a salary cap is three parts research and one part roulette wheel. But to declare that because the Avs faceplanted against Seattle in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the money thrown at Valeri Nichushkin should’ve gone to Kadri instead? That’s a leap Superman wouldn’t make with a straight face.Revise history all you like. But you don’t get to rewrite it. Remember June 2022? No? Nichushkin was 27 and became a one-man wrecking crew during some of the biggest postseason gam...
