Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson

Music and Lyrics by Michael Friedman
Written and Directed by Alex Timbers
 
Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson audaciously redefines America’s seventh president, the man who invented the Democratic Party and doubled the size of our nation, with a raucous blend of outrageous comedy, anarchic theatricality and an infectious rock score.

“The most entertaining and most perceptive political theater of the season. Bloody Bloody manages to be a goofy delight and a perversely affecting comment on the American temperament at the same time.”
-Ben Brantley, The New York Times
 
“Five Stars! A new breed of rock musical!”
-David Cote, Time Out New York
 
“An intriguing, often outrageous look at American history, filtered through the satiric eye of Alex Timbers and Michael Friedman’s pulsating rock score.”
-Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press
