Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson

11th Hour Theatre Company is bringing some of the world’s biggest musicals to town this season with the company’s new Next Step Concert Series. The series launches this week with a concert staging
of the Tony-nominated rock musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson. Directed by the company’s associate producer/general manager Kate Galvin, the groundbreaking musical combines fact and fiction to portray America’s seventh president and founder of the Democratic Party as a super-sexy rock star. Bloody recounts Jackson’s genocidal attack on Native Americans, who were massacred and driven from their homes to satisfy Jackson’s goal of expanding the nation westward. Jackson was as charismatic as he was brutal, and the musical draws parallels between his presidency and the Bush administration while simultaneously comparing Jackson’s appeal with the wave of Obamamania that dominated the 2008 presidential campaign. -J. Cooper Robb
