Photo Flash: Chance Theatre's BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON, Now Through 8/4

By: Jul. 10, 2013

Chance Theater presents the third show of its 15th Anniversary Season - the hilarious and irreverent emo rock musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson by Alex Timbers, with music and lyrics by Michael Friedman, and directed by Kari Hayter. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson began previews on July 5, and opens July 12, continuing through August 4 at Chance Theater. Check out a first look below!

Part history, part rock concert, and part SNL sketch comedy satire, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson reimagines and reinvents the life of "Old Hickory" from childhood to maverick president. We are reconfiguring our theater into a grungy Wild West tavern for this fiery musical, and it features many of the artists from last season's hit musical West Side Story. This hard-rocking and hilarious new show follows our seventh Commander-In-Chief as he kicks British butt, shafts the Indians, and smacks down the Spaniards, all in the name of these United States. You'll never view the game of politics the same again.
