OFF-BROADWAY'S BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON WILL RECIEVE A CAST RECORDING
Published 2010-04-21
The Public Theater (Artistic Director Oskar Eustis; Executive Director Andrew D. Hamingson) announced that the cast of the hit Off-Broadway rock musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson will enter the studio on Monday, April 26 to record an original cast album for Sh-K-Boom/Ghostlight Records. A co-production with Center Theatre Group and in association with Les Freres Corbusier, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is written and directed by Alex Timbers and features music and lyrics by Michael Friedman. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is currently running at The Public Theater Off-Broadway through Sunday, May 9.
The album, which will be produced by Kurt Deutsch and Dean Sharenow, will include the songs “Populism, Yea, Yea!”, “I’m Not That Guy,” “Oh, Andrew Jackson,” “Illness As Metaphor,” “I’m So That Guy,” “Ten Little Indians,” “The Corrupt Bargain,” “Rock Star,” “The Great Compromise,” “Public Life,” “Crisis Averted 1,” “Crisis Averted 2,” “The Saddest Song,” “Second Nature,” and “The Hunters of Kentucky.” Release details for the album will be announced at a future date.
“Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson has been a smashing hit in the theater, and Michael Friedman's insidious, brilliant songs are now available for all to hear. These songs should have a warning label: they get under your skin,” said Public Theater Artistic Director Oskar Eustis.
Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, an audacious mix of historical fact and invention, redefines America’s controversial seventh president—the man who invented the Democratic Party, drove the Indians west, and ultimately doubled the size of our nation—with a raucous blend of outrageous comedy, anarchic theatricality and an infectious emo rock score.
The Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson cast features River Aguirre as Lyncoya; James Barry as Male Soloist; Michael Crane as Clay/Blackhawk; Michael Dunn as Calhoun; Greg Hildreth as Red Eagle; Jeff Hiller as John Quincy Adams; Lucas Near-Verbrugghe as Martin Van Buren; Maria Elena Ramirez as Rachel; Kate Cullen Roberts as Elizabeth; Ben Steinfeld as Monroe; Benjamin Walker as Andrew Jackson; Colleen Werthmann as The Storyteller; and Emily Young as Female Soloist.
Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson features scenic design by Donyale Werle, costume design by Emily Rebholz, lighting design by Justin Townsend, sound design by Bart Fasbender, and choreography by Danny Mefford.
