BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON
NPT welcomes Bailiwick Chicago to our new Uptown locations presenting the Chicago premier of BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON. In BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON, we follow the story of America’s first political maverick. An exhilarating and white-knuckled look at one of our nation’s founding rock stars, the musical recreates and reinvents the life of “Old Hickory,” from his humble beginnings to his days as our seventh Commander-in-Chief. It also asks the question: is wanting to have a beer with someone reason enough to elect him? What if he’s really, really hot?
Performances are October 4th through November 10th. Thursdays through Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 6pm. Press opening is Monday, October 8that 7:30pm. Tickets are available at bailiwickchicago.com.
