Goin courting has never been as much fun as in this rip-roaring stage version of the popular MGM movie. Millie is a young bride living in the 1850s Oregon wilderness whose plan to civilize and marry off her six rowdy brothers-in-law to ensure the success of her own marriage backfires when the brothers, in their enthusiasm, kidnap six women from a neighboring town to be their brides. A great way to celebrate the holiday season, this show features beautiful music, unbridled choreography, and a timeless story of love. Filled with the abundant and rollicking energy reminiscent of the 1954 film, the stage version is an athletic explosion of musical theatre.
