Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson
Opens March 31st
Know Theatre is pleased to announce the Off-Broadway hit musical, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson with music and lyrics written by Michael Friedman, and a book by Alex Timbers as the final show of the 2011-2012 season. Recently closed on Broadway, this rock musical makes its regional premier at the Know Theatre March 31 - May 12, 2012.
An audacious mix of historical fact and invention, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson tells the story of America's controversial seventh president using a raucous blend of outrageous comedy, anarchic theatricality and an infectious rock n' roll soundtrack. Bloody Bloody examines the attraction and terrors or American Populism through the story of the man who invented the Democratic Party, doubled the size of our nation, and signed the Indian Removal Acts that started the Trail of Tears
Cast members include: Kellen York, Torie Wiggins, Drew Bowen, Matt Hill, Chris Wesselman, Kelsey Crismon, Kathryn Boswell, Darius Brown, Luka Carter, Rachel Christianson, Annie Kalahurka, Chance Kilgour, and Datus Puryear. Click here for more information about the cast.
Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson premiered in 2008 in Los Angeles. The show's New York premiere took place in 2009 at The Public Theater in a concert version, followed by a fully-mounted production the following year, before transferring to Broadway. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson was nominated for two Tony Awards in 2011 for Best Book of a Musical and Best Scenic Design of a Musical.
