PhotosPHOTO EXCLUSIVE: A Day at the Theatre With the Ladies of Bloody Bloody Andrew JacksonBloody Bloody Andrew Jackson's Jeff Hiller and Greg Hildreth recently gave their unique spin on Playbill.com's "Two-Show Day" photo series. Not to be outdone, three of the show's ladies — Nadia Quinn, Kate Cullen Roberts and Emily Young — jumped at the chance to offer their own photo response.

When presented with the idea, the ladies collectively offered the following statement: "We were surprised and honored when we heard that Playboy wanted to know how we spend a typical two-show day over here at BBAJ! It didn't make sense to us at first, but we then we figured it had something to do with Ben Walker's butt and our 'sexy pants' logo. Here are some photos of an average, typical weekend day backstage at the Jacobs Theatre."
Despite the late realization that it was in fact Playbill, and not Playboy, running the pictorial, the ladies soldiered on to offer a glimpse at their day at the theatre.

Hello, Playboy readers! Emily Young, Kate Cullen Roberts and Nadia Quinn here at Broadway's Jacobs Theatre. The first thing we do when we get to the theatre before the matinee is put on our silky robes to get into hair and makeup.

We ladies LOOOVE chocolate. Here we are feeding each other truffles as a bonding exercise.

After our snack, we spend a few minutes tidying up the dressing room. Don't want to come back to a mess!
Katie Tibbits
We always have cupcakes lying around in case a hungry gentleman comes to call. Today it's Heath Calvert!

Then we head down to the green room for our physical warm up.
Well that sure tuckered us out! Good thing we have time to take a quick nap.

James Barry joins us for our coffee and sugar fix. Gotta have energy for two shows!

Afterwards, we have our daily check-in with Stage Manager Artie, who gives us a pre-show pep talk.

It's half-hour call for the matinee! We love to help each other get into costume.
Katie Tibbits
Wait... what? Maria Elena Ramirez informs us that it's definitely PlayBILL and not PlayBOY that wants to know what we do backstage.
Katie Tibbits
Really? In hindsight... this makes more sense. Ah, well...the show must go on! Time for the matinee.
Katie Tibbits
PlayBILL, huh? Okay. So, this is what we do with the three hours between shows. We spend one hour reading.
Katie Tibbits
We spend one hour crying about girl stuff (and the fact that our show is closing Jan. 2. SAD!)
Katie Tibbits
The last hour is spent watching kitten videos online. (Awww!) Then it's off to do the second show!

After our evening performance, we rush out the stage door we share with Driving Miss Daisy to join the throngs of people waiting to get autographs from James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave. Then home to sleep. Just an average day at BBAJ!
Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is "an audacious mix of historical fact and invention, [that] uses the story of America’s controversial seventh president—the man who invented the Democratic Party, doubled the size of our nation and signed the Indian Removal Acts that started the Trail of Tears — to investigate the attraction and terrors of American populism, using a raucous blend of outrageous comedy, anarchic theatricality and infectious emo rock."
