Story

What Is the Story of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson?
A satirical comedic mash-up of American history and emo rock music, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson follows America’s seventh president from his early days as a child on the wild frontier to his controversial reign in the White House. With the country divided into rich and poor (and with continued skirmishes with the Native Americans upsetting pieces of the new world), Jackson begins his steady climb from military strategist to populist rabble-rouser to President of the United States. Along the way, he meets his wife, Rachel, takes on the Founding Fathers—and rocks like no political figure has ever rocked before, with the help of an onstage trio and an entourage of singing, joking cohorts.

A collection of our favorite reviews from professional news sources.
The New York Times

""The most entertaining and most perceptive political theater of the season. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson manages to be a goofy delight and a perversely affecting comment on the American temperament at the same time.""

The New York Times

Ben Brantley

Backstage

""Benjamin Walker is a sexy bundle of narcissism and fury. The rest of the energetic young cast play multiple roles with fearless verve.""

Backstage

David Sheward

Entertainment Weekly

""Benjamin Walker is genuinely hilarious. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is a complicated, contradictory tour-de-force!""

Entertainment Weekly

Simon Vozick-Levinson

The New York Post

""The creative team and the cast hit the right balance of irony and earnestness.  [Composer Michael Friedman] has a gift for anthemic choruses.""

The New York Post

Elizabeth Vincentelli

Time Out New York

""A new breed of rock musical. This fist-pumping historical travesty has something for every disenfranchised groupie.""

Time Out New York

David Cote

Associated Press

""An intruiging, often outrageous look at American history, filtered through the satiric eye of Alex Timbers and Michael Friedman's pulsating rock score.""
