“Goin'
courting” has never been as much fun as in this rip-roaring
stage version of the popular MGM movie, adapted by Lawrence
Kasha and David Landay. Millie is a young bride living
in the 1850s Oregon wilderness whose plan to civilize
and marry off her six rowdy brothers-in-law to ensure
the success of her own marriage backfires when the brothers,
in their enthusiasm, kidnap six women from a neighboring
town to be their brides.
Bursting
with the rambunctious energy of the original film, “Seven
Brides For Seven Brothers” is all boisterous fun and
romance that harkens back to the glory days of the movie
musical. A large cast of characters gives many actors
a chance to shine, making the show a perfect choice
for schools or community groups. New songs by Al Kasha
and Joel Hirschhorn have been added to a melody-drenched
classic film score by Johnny Mercer and Gene de Paul
that includes wistful ballads, charming comic turns
and rousing showstopping dances. |
