BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON: THE CONCERT VERSION



“Bloody entertaining!”
New York Daily News

“Giddy with intelligence… a smart, vulgar, comic-book romp through history.“
The New Yorker

“Delightful… Poised between deadpan wonder and frat-house humor. Bloody may be a hoot, but it’s also a primal holler.”
New York Times

“The most fun I've had at a play this year!”
-Curtain Up

“A silly-smart entertainment that feels like a fifth-grade pageant hatched under the tutelage of The Harvard Lampoon and composed by Spinal Tap.”
Backstage

“Bloody good! Anarchic joy and cross-cultural mayhem… Offers a coherent view of the way American politics cranks out leaders who are as charismatic as they are opportunistic.”
-New York Post

“Rough, raucous, and raunchy! A wholly iconoclastic burlesque with emo rock music and humor that goes for the jugular.”
-Bloomberg

“Down at the Public, this hot little show is putting on one hell of a wake for a fallen hero”
-Variety

“Remarkably inventive and often hilarious… A dizzying post-modern approach to American history.”
Theatermania

“Librettist-director Timbers is the artistic director of Les Freres Corbusier and Michael Friedman is the house composer of The Civilians, and the uniting of these two downtown titans on a project of this audacity is a match made in theatre utopia. Timbers’s knack for rampantly visionary entertainment and Friedman’s grip on pungent social commentary combine to make something deeper, richer, and hotter than either has previously devised alone, all within a searing context that commands your attention and demands your assent to its absurdities.”
TalkinBroadway




Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is a fast-paced entertainment that takes a sharp, irreverent look at America’s seventh president.

This satirical epic reveals questions about the country we live in and the leaders we choose.
