The critically acclaimed new rock musical, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, at The Public Theater, has announced a third and final extension, and will now close on June 27.

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 stars Benjamin Walker in the title role, and also includes 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 features scenic design by Donyale Werle, costume design by Emily Rebholz, lighting design by Justin Townsend, and sound design by Bart Fasbender.
