A rousing, bawdy southern
fairytale from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Driving Miss Daisy!
The score, by Robert Waldman, is meant to be played by a small band on stage –
and it's one of the only genuine bluegrass scores ever heard in a Broadway
musical. Since opening on Broadway in 1975, The Robber Bridegroom has
gone on to become a regional favorite.
Set in eighteenth-century
Mississippi, the show follows Jamie Lockhart, a rascally robber of the woods,
as he courts Rosamund, the only daughter of the richest planter in the country.
The proceedings go awry, however, thanks to a case of double-mistaken identity.
Throw in an evil stepmother who's intent on Rosamund's demise, her pea-brained
henchman, and a hostile talking head-in-a-trunk, and you have a rollicking
country romp.
