Ghostlight Records celebrated the release of its Original Cast Recording of The Public Theater's Production of BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON with a Barnes & Noble In-Store performance and CD signing by the cast members yesterday, October 26.

BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON opened on Broadway at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre (242 W. 45th Street) on Wednesday, October 13, 2010 and BroadwayWorld was there!

BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON stars Benjamin Walker and his leading lady, Maria Elena Ramirez, have teamed up to release a dramatic music video about the intoxicating effects of love. The video showcases a Spanish version of the show's 'Illness as a Metaphor,' and stars Ben Steinfeld and Justin Levine, donning guitars, sombreros and exaggerated moustaches -- all in the name of love.

Ghostlight Records has confirmed a September 21st release date for their Original Cast Recording of The Public Theater's Production of BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON. The show will soon move to Broadway (The CD will be released to coincide with previews, which begin September 20 at The Bernard B Jacobs Theatre.)

Today we are listening to the Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording of The Public Theater's Broadway-bound punk rock musical BLOODY, BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON which is, without question, the very best Broadway score to blaze upon the boards in years. It's bloody, bloody brilliant. It's everything SPRING AWAKENING tried to be (and sporadically succeeded in showing, but not singing) but it effortless evokes the passion, fire, drive and earthy bite of the early eighteenth century combined with the apathetic overtures masking a cowering fear which defines the plight of the twenty-first century generation, Gen Y. A meta-musical and a concept musical but an effective and engaging one. This musical is x to the nth degree. It's everything every Broadway show should be: innovative, provocative, exciting, original and featuring a score with not one weak link! Conceive yourselves quite lucky and Say, 'Yea! Yea!'
