The new rock musical, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, will return to The Public Theater, March 23-April 25.

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.

The production will once again star Benjamin Walker in the title role, along with original cast members James Barry, Darren Goldstein, Greg Hildreth, Jeff Hiller, Lucas Near-Verbrugghe, Maria Elena Ramirez, Kate Cullen Roberts, Ben Steinfeld, and Colleen Werthmann. Additional casting will be announced at a later date.
