ABOUT THE PLAY

An audacious mix of historical fact and fiction, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson 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 punk rock score. BBAJ is a high energy, very physical production, including: high octane choreography, stage combat, aspects of aerial and a commitment to the rock and roll persona! There is no perusal script/score available, but we suggest you youtube the show just to get a taste of the style.

ROLES AVAILABLE

ANDREW JACKSON (Male, 20s-Early 30s) A roguish, man’s president. Deeply charming and sexy, so much so that you somehow don’t mind he’s a violent, arrogant, bigoted idiot. Fights passionately for what he believes in. Personifies “strong but wrong.” Ages throughout the show so should be able to play young. Must be adept at deadpan comedy. Guitar-playing a plus. High baritone rock. Up to a G belt.

MARTIN VAN BUREN (Male, 20s-Mid 30s) Jackson’s right hand man. In over his head. A buffoon, well-intentioned and utterly lovable. Think Nicely-Nicely. Doubles as other roles.

HENRY CLAY (Male, 20s-Mid 30s ) A backwoods version of Calhoun’s villainous senator. Think Crispin Glover. Greasy hair. Wears weasel pelts. Over-the-top and vivacious. Transparent in his villainy and revels in it. Tall, cadaverous. Doubles as other roles, Baritone

JAMES MONROE (Male, early-mid 30s ) President of the United States. Old school American aristocracy. Foppish and overwhelmed. Exasperated by Jackson’s overreaching as well as by the idiocy of his advisors. Doubles as other roles.

BLACK FOX (Male, 20s-Mid 30s ) Native American chief. Intelligent, somber, with a hint of danger. Used to work alongside Jackson, an alliance that led him to tricking and betraying other tribes for Jackson. By the end of the show, he’s forced to beg his friend for mercy. May double other roles

BANDLEADER (Male/Female, 20s-40’s) Dark and dangerous. Multiple Instrument skill a plus.

FEMALE SOLOIST (Female, 20s-40’s ) Sings “Ten Little Indians”; Self-confident, attractive singer with powerful, emotive indie rock voice. Dark, mysterious, hip vibe. Doubles as other roles. Think Dresden Dolls, not musical theater. alto-belts up to a Bb.
