A rollicking musical! Perfectly integrates song, dance and story!”

Starring Jane Powell (Royal Wedding) and Howard Keel (Show Boat), this musical showcase of spectacular love songs and dazzling dance numbers garnered an Academy Award for Best Score and received four additional nominations including Best Picture and Best Screenplay. Directed by Stanley Donen (Singin’ in the Rain), scripted by Albert Hackett (It’s a Wonderful Life), Frances Goodrich (The Diary of Anne Frank) and Dorothy Kingsley (Kiss Me Kate), and choreographed by Michael Kidd (Guys and Dolls), it’s a “foot-stomping musical with all the slickness of a Broadway show” (Variety)!

When rugged frontiersman Adam (Keel) sweeps local beauty, Milly (Powell) off her feet, the whole town is turned upside down. But no one’s more shocked than Milly, who discovers that she’s now expected to cook and clean not only for Adam, but for his six rowdy brothers too! Well, Milly’s no pushover, and soon she has those boisterous boys whipped into “groomhood” and dancing for joy over six brides of their own!

Featuring such memorable tunes as “Bless Your Beautiful Hide” and “Goin’ Co’tin,” Seven Brides For Seven Brothers is “an unending source of enjoyment – the best in every way”
