SEVEN BRIDES FOR
SEVEN BROTHERS

Lyrics by Music by New Songs by
Johnny Mercer Gene De Paul Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn
Based on the MGM Film and "The Sobbin' Women"
by Stephen Vincent Benet

“Goin’ courting” has never been as much fun as in this brand new revival of the
rip-roaring stage version of the popular MGM movie, adapted by Lawrence Kasha
and David Landay. Millie is a young bride living in the 1850's 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.
