We’re thrilled to announce that Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson will have its world premiere this coming season at Center Theatre Group's Kirk Douglas Theater in Los Angeles.
Jackson is a fast-paced, irreverent Wild West rock musical about the founding of the Democratic Party. It's got populism, emo rock, and lots of dead Indians. It's also really funny. Music can be heard online at www.myspace.com/bloodybloodyandrewjackson
The show had a successful workshop this past Summer at Williamstown Theatre Festival and will be workshopped further this May in New York by Center Theatre Group. It will premiere in LA January-February '08, prior to a New York run later that year.
Below we're also proud to extend exclusive discount offers to Les Freres list members for two other very funny shows staged, designed, and performed by company vets. Dixie's Tupperware Party begins previews at Ars Nova on Wednesday and Gutenberg! The Musical! (just nominated for a Lortel for Best Musical!) continues to perform through the Spring.
Check them out- they’re both smart and fun. Just like you.
JUST $15 for LES FRERES CORBUSIER LIST MEMBERS to all preview performances (April 18th through May 9th). Use Code: LFC
Other Les Freres folks involved: Writer Liz Meriwether (Heddatron, Boozy, President Harding is a Rock Star), Set Designer Cameron Anderson (Heddatron), Video Designer Jake Pinholster (Heddatron, Boozy), Composer Sam Forman (Hell House, Heddatron) Stage Manager Alaina Taylor (…Scientology Pageant, Hell House, Heddatron), and performer Julie Lake (Hell House, Heddatron)
GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL! has left its audiences "Howling with Laughter," (AP) since it opened off-Broadway in November - now it's been nominated for the 2007 Lortel OUTSTANDING MUSICAL Award.
To celebrate this and its recent extension, we've got a fabulous half price offer, with best seats from JUST $17.50 for LES FRERES CORBUSIER LIST MEMBERS, but it's only valid through April 29, so book soon.
GUTENBERG is about two men who think they've written the Greatest Musical in History - it's awfully good (and hilariously bad). Click here to learn more about the hit comedy the New York Times calls "A Smashing Success!" http://www.gutenbergthemusical.com/eblast/LFC.htm.
Directed by Obie Award-winner and Les Freres Corbusier Artistic Director Alex Timbers and written by UCB Artistic Director Anthony King and Entertainment Weekly Hot List scribe Scott Brown - GUTENBERG runs Tuesdays through Sundays at The Actors' Playhouse (7th Ave & Bleeker)
Other Les Freres folks involved: Light Designer Tyler Micoleau (Hell House, Heddatron), Costume Designer Emily Rebholz (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson), Assistant Director Ian Unterman (…Scientology Pageant, Hell House, Heddatron), and performer Ryan Karels (Hell House, Heddatron, Boozy, The Franklin Thesis, President Harding is a Rock Star, The Shaker Sisters)
