Full casting has been announced for the new rock musical, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, at The Public Theater, March 23-April 25, with an opening on April 6.

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. It was seen earlier this year as part of the Public’s LAB season.

As previously announced, the production will once again star Benjamin Walker in the title role. The cast will also include River Aguirre as Lyncoya, James Barry as Male Soloist, Michael Crane as Clay/Blackhawk, Michael Dunn as Calhoun, Greg Hildreth as Red Eagle, Jeff Hiller as John Quincy Adams, Lucas Near-Verbrugghe as Martin Van Buren, Maria Elena Ramirez as Rachel, Kate Cullen Roberts as Elizabeth, Ben Steinfeld as Monroe, Colleen Werthmann as The Storyteller, and Emily Young as Female Soloist.

The production will feature scenic design by Donyale Werle, costume design by Emily Rebholz, lighting design by Justin Townsend, and sound design by Bart Fasbender.
