Seven Brides For Seven Brothers

Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre ~ Friday Evening, April 25

Dinner and the play “Seven Brides For Seven Brothers” was our gift to any of our children and grandchildren who wanted to go along to celebrate their 2014 birthday. It was also our family celebration for Cerwin’s birthday.

Seven Brides 2

This is a photo from Dutch Apple’s website. If you are not familiar with Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, it is a humorous 1954 musical.

Setting: 1850 Oregon

Storyline: Adam, the eldest of seven brothers, goes to town to get a wife. He convinces Milly to marry him that same day. They return to his backwoods home. Only then does she discover he has six brothers – all living in his cabin. Milly sets out to reform the uncouth siblings, who are anxious to get wives of their own. Then, after reading about the Roman capture of the Sabine women, Adam develops an inspired solution to his brothers’ loneliness.

It was delightful and funny with fabulous singing and dancing.
