"BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON"~~~Opens May 25th, 2012 **** Closes July 1st, 2012 **** Rehearsals Begin April 14th, 2012
All roles open except for Andrew Jackson (Dan Folino). One additional AEA contract will be offered. All other actors 18 and over are paid a stipend for their participation. Staff for this production includes Scott Spence(Director), Larry Goodpaster (Musical Director), Martin Cespedes (Choreographer) , Libby Burchmore (Stage Manager), Trad A. Burns (Set and Light Design), Jenniver Sparano (Costume Design) and Richard Ingraham (Sound Design).
Roles: Except in two instances the age range here is from 18 to 35. The cast numbers 13 to 15 (8/9 men, 4/5 women, 1 boy). One of the women (The Storyteller) should be 40 to 60. The boy should be 6 to 10 and should be darker skinned as he plays a Native American. Neither of these two roles need to sing. The rest of the cast needs to be comfortable with styles that range from quasi-musical theatre to Punk, Emo, and traditional Rock styles. Actor/Singers who play guitar are encouraged to bring them. Almost all actors double (except for The Story Teller and The Boy) and play a variety of roles from politicians to Native Americans, and parents to tourists.
The Show: "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" was THE Off Broadway hit of 2010 before transitioning to a shorter-lived B'Way production. It juxtaposes a story line from the early 19th century with contemporary music and dialogue, and requires an unbelievably energetic and balls-to-the-wall cast. Two thirds of the show is book, so it requires VERY strong actors at every turn who are also fearless in attacking the vocal style of the show. It is amazing in its timeliness as well, skewering Left and Right alike and makes us see how little has really changed in Washington and the country in almost 200 years.
