http://www.pbs.org/wnet/need-to-know/culture/andrew-jackson-is-back-bloody-and-a-rock-star/4389/ The age of Jackson has arrived on Broadway. Andrew Jackson, America's seventh president, is going for a new demographic as a song-and-dance man. The clever and irreverent musical "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" sets the political machinations of early 19th century America to an emo-rock score, with Benjamin Walker portraying Jackson as a presidential rock star. Need to Know co-host and Jackson biographer Jon Meacham sat down with the show's writer and director, Alex Timbers. Need to Know airs Fridays on PBS.
