With a raucous blend of outrageous comedy, anarchic theatricality and an infectious rock score, this wildly entertaining musical tells how A.J. kicked British butt, shafted the Indians and smacked down the Spaniards all in the name of these United States--who cares if he didn't have permission? "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" will open at Edison Valley Playhouse March 18.
The show 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!
The show will run at 8 p.m. March 8, 19 and 25 and April 1 and 2; at midnight March 26; and at 2 p.m. March 20. It is written by Michael Friedman and Alex Timbers, and directed by Alan Van Antwerp. Tickets cost $20 per adult and $15 per senior, student or military personnel.
