SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS Now Playing At the Wells Fargo Pavilion Thru 8/9
What makes rowdy mountain men not just jump for joy, but twirl, flip and pirouette? One of the most loved Music Circus productions returns with its legendary high-kicking choreography to show that it takes a bride to turn seven unshaven unkempt brothers into manly gentle men and to turn desire into romance.
One of the most popular shows ever at Music Circus, "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" is now playing at Music Circus. The cast will be led by Music Circus favorites Joseph Mahowald as Adam and Jacquelyn Piro Donovan as Millie. Mahowald, whose Broadway credits include the lead role in "Jekyll & Hyde" and Javert in "Les Misérables," has been seen here in "Seven Brides" and "South Pacific." Piro Donovan was most recently under the tent as Sally Bowles in "Cabaret." She holds the distinction as the only woman to have played both Fantine and Cosette in the Broadway cast of "Les Misérables." The cast will include 18 young singers and dancers playing brothers, brides and suitors. The Brothers will be played by Steve Scheips (Benjamin), Nathaniel Shaw (Caleb), Ryan Jackson (Daniel), A.J. Hughes (Ephraim), Richard Bulda (Frank) and Shawn Perucca (Gideon). Longtime Music Circus fans will recognize Bulda who returns to the tent for his eleventh season. The Brides will be played by Merrill West (Dorcas), Miki Berg (Ruth), Elisa Nixon (Liza), Robin Masella (Martha), Tiffany Sudol (Sarah) and Kristen J. Smith (Alice.). The suitors will be played by Tyler Russell Warren (Carl), Kurt Domoney (Luke), Kevin Loreque (Matt), Tim Hausmann (Joel), Gabriel Williams (Zeke) and Drew Franklin (Jeb). The cast will include Rodger Hoopman as the Preacher, Don Hayden as Mr. Bixby, Jim Lane as Mr. Perkins and Jennie Scott as Mrs. Bixby. Former California Musical Theatre Producing Director Leland Ball returns to direct. Pepper Clyde, who choreographed all the previous Music Circus productions of "Seven Brides," returns to once again recreate the high energy, acrobatic dance sequences. Clyde's association with the musical began when she toured in the role of Ruth in the first national tour with Howard Keel and Jane Powell. Jim May is the musical director.
