From July 14th to August 22nd, the Old Globe Theatre will host ROBIN AND THE 7 HOODS - A NEW MUSICAL. This is the world premiere of a Broadway-bound musical comedy that takes the audience back to that sexy era in pop culture where "Mad Men" reigned supreme, martinis flowed freely and the songs of Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen ("My Kind of Town Chicago Is)," "Ain't That a Kick in the Head," "Call Me Irresponsible" and many more) ruled the night.

Take the writer of CURTAINS (Rupert Holmes), add the director of THE DROWSY CHAPERONE and taught Monty Python how to dance in SPAMALOT (Casey Nicholas), and top it off with a sexy, soaring score of classic Cahn and Van Heusen songs and you get ROBIN AND THE 7 HOODS, a new musical that takes the Robin Hood legend and gives it an early-sixties spin. When Robbo, a suave, fast-rising entrepreneur in Chicago's sophisticated nightclub scene, finds himself wanted by both sides of the law, he and his merry band quickly learn that a few wrongs - and a few songs - could make things right.
