Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson at BGSU Firelands College

02 Nov '16

BGSU Firelands College Theatre presents BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON November 3, 4 and 5 at 7:30 pm McBride Auditorium BGSU Firelands College Just in time for the three-ring circus that is our 2016 Presidential election, BGSU Firelands College is presenting a controversial look at our first "celebrity" President in the new rock musical, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, an audacious mix of historical fact and fiction, 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. Written by Alex Timbers and Michael Friedman, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is an exhilarating and white-knuckled look at one of our nation's founding rock stars. This hysterical musical recreates and reinvents the life of "Old Hickory," from his humble beginnings on the Tennessee frontier to his days as Commander-in-Chief. It also asks the question; Is wanting to have a beer with someone reason enough to elect him? What if he's really, really hot? The production is Rated R and for mature audiences only.
