About the Musical

Our story begins as Milly chooses to marry Adam after knowing him but a few hours. She doesn’t realize; however, she would have six rowdy brothers-in-law as roommates in the wilds of 1850s Oregon. It doesn’t take long for her to whip this rough and tumble group of boys into shape, and soon all the brothers wish for wives of their own. Filled with fearless dancing and a magnificent score including “Wonderful, Wonderful Day,” “Bless Your Beautiful Hide” and “Goin’ Courtin’”, this lighthearted Wild West explosion will delight the whole family!

Long after the phenomenally successful movie of 1954, SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS was developed for the stage and enjoyed a successful national tour in 1979. In 1982, the Broadway production, starring Debby Boone and David-James Carroll had a short run and a Tony Award nomination for Best Original Score. In 1985 the West End had a successful run and released a London cast recording. In 2005, the prestigious Goodspeed Opera House staged a major revival with the production earning rave reviews from Variety and the New York Times. There was also a television series based very loosely on the film on CBS from 1982 to 1983.
