Seven Brides For Seven Brothers History
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is a musical that was first performed in 1954, with music by Gene de Paul and lyrics by Johnny Mercer. The original Broadway production was based on the 1954 film of the same name, which itself was inspired by Stephen Vincent Benét's short story 'The Sobbin' Women'. The story is set in the Oregon Territory in the 1850s and revolves around the seven Pontipee brothers who, after one of them marries a spirited woman named Milly, decide they want wives of their own. This leads to a series of comedic and romantic escapades as they attempt to court local women. The musical features a blend of lively choreography, memorable songs, and a humorous take on the themes of love and family. Over the years, it has become a staple in community and regional theaters, celebrated for its catchy tunes and vibrant dance sequences. The show has seen numerous revivals, including a successful Broadway revival in the 1980s and various international productions and tours, solidifying its place in the canon of American musical theatre.
