A complete original cast album of the Public Theatre’s production of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson will be released on Tuesday, September 21 by Ghostlight Records.

In related news, the Broadway production of the show, once again starring Benjamin Walker in the title role, will now begin performances at the Bernard Jacobs Theatre on Monday, September 20 with an official opening on October 13. Complete casting will be announced at a later date.

Written and directed by Alex Timbers, with music and lyrics by Michael Friedman, the show takes a sharp, irreverent look at America’s seventh president, Andrew Jackson.

The production features scenic design by Donyale Werle, costume design by Emily Rebholz, lighting design by Justin Townsend, sound design by Bart Fasbender, and choreography by Danny Mefford — all of whom are repeating their duties from the Off-Broadway run.
