The men in question are Adam and his six unruly brothers, who think they know where a woman's place is and how to keep her there. It takes Milly—Adam’s wife—and six other savvy women to show them who's boss.

As a film, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers delighted audiences with its whirlwind romances, memorable songs, and iconic choreography which won the Academy Award for Best Scoring of a Musical Picture and was nominated for four additional awards, including Best Picture. In 2006, American Film Institute named Seven Brides for Seven Brothers as one of the best American musical films ever made. In 2004, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry of the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” Film critic Stephanie Zacharek has called the barn-raising sequence in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers “one of the most rousing dance numbers ever put on screen.” The energetic and adventurous stage version also earned a Tony nomination for Best Original Score.

Patrons of Springhouse Theatre will recognize plenty of STC veterans on stage, along with some wonderful new faces. Alyssa Krebs takes on the role of “Milly” and Springhouse newcomer Callum Ammons inhabits the role of “Adam.” The 40+-member cast is directed by Paula K. Parker, with musical direction by Nathaniel Paul and choreography by Elizabeth Krebs.

Musical theatre at its finest, you’ll want to see Seven Brides for Seven Brothers with someone you love. After all, nobody wants to be a lonesome polecat.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers runs September 20-21, 27-28, & October 4-6.
