“Who am I? I'm Andrew F***ing Jackson!”
Shootouts, smallpox and scalpings—growing up on the 19th Century American Frontier was killer! Hoping to kick some British butt and bitch-slap the Spaniards, thirteen-year old Andrew Jackson joins the Army and grows up to become America's first populist president and greatest rock star since George Washington.
A fast-paced irreverent rock musical about the country we live in and the leaders we choose. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson redefines America's seventh president, a pioneer of humble stock who invented the Democratic Party, moved Indians west, and played a kick-ass guitar. From the director and co-creator of A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant and OBIE Award winning composer Michael Friedman.
We are waiting for you at the Public, or even better, some place with decent bathrooms: NYTW, Arts at St. Ann's, New York Theatre Workshop. GOTHAM LOVES YOU! COME HOME, BOYS!
It was a great honor and pleasure working this show. Never had a dull night working where I thought,"geez not another show", like I tend to do working in the theatre industry. It gets boring and old working shows like Our Town and Grease all the time. It was exciting to work on something fresh. I wish you guys all the luck and best for the future of this show. Great cast! And yes, there needs to be a CD released!
I vote a sountrack be made and sold to the general public!!
Man, the music was great, the....AHHH!!! Everything was so great! It was so new and fresh and out-there! I LOOOOVED IT!!
I too came seeing it with NO IDEA whatsoever what it was going to be about, hoping, though somewhat scared that it would be a suprise. I was glad. It was soooooooo spectacular! I only hope that it can come to california soon and does well in New York. And that a soundtrack comes out soon; I seriously cannot get enough of this show!
Thanks so much to all the cast and crew members that made this possible, you guys have given me a fresh passion, and I hope I get to see you all again soon!
With all my love and regards, and best wishes, "Break a leg!" Rachael!
