A rousing, bawdy Southern fairy tale set in eighteenth century Mississippi, strongTHE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM/strong is the story of the courting of Rosamund, the only daughter of the richest planter in the country, by Jamie Lockhart, a rascally robber of the woods. The proceedings go awry, thanks to an unconventional case of double-mistaken identity. Throw in an evil stepmother intent on Rosamund?s demise, her pea-brained henchman and a hostile talking head-in-a-trunk, and you have the recipe for a rollicking country romp.brbrTold in "story theatre" fashion with nine principal actors on a unit set, strongTHE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM/strong is extremely flexible in its staging and production possibilities. The hysterical book by a href="http://mtishows.com/biography.asp?writerid=3216"Alfred Uhry/a, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of span style="font-weight: bold;"DRIVING MISS DAISY/span, gives each actor his or her moment to shine. Composer a href="http://mtishows.com/biography.asp?writerid=3457"Robert Waldman/a has created a score to be played by a small onstage band. It?s one of the only genuine bluegrass scores ever heard in a Broadway musical, giving this unusual tale of the Natchez Trace a distinctive sound all its own.
