According to press notes, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson: The Concert Version "is a fast-paced entertainment that takes a sharp, irreverent look at America's seventh president, Andrew Jackson. This satirical epic reveals questions about the country we live in and the leaders we choose." The rock musical made its world premiere in January 2008 at the Center Theatre Group.
The Public LAB production will have scenic design by Donyale Werle, costume design by Emily Rebholz, lighting design by Justin Townsend and sound design by Bart Fasbender.
