Previews begin tomorrow, February 18, 2016, for Roundabout Theatre Company's first-ever New York revival of Alfred Uhry and Robert Waldman's musical comedy The Robber Bridegroom, starring Steven Pasquale. The Robber Bridegroom opens officially on March 13, 2016 at the Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (111 West 46th Street). This will be a limited engagement through May 29, 2016. CLICK HERE to go inside rehearsal with the cast.
Wildly inventive and deliciously entertaining, The Robber Bridegroom is a raucous, hilarious, sexy theatrical gem with an irresistibly catchy bluegrass score. Based on the short story by beloved Southern writer Eudora Welty, The Robber Bridegroom transports the audience to the Natchez Trace in Mississippi, a dangerous and mysterious corner of the country teeming with a rogue's gallery of the most beguiling con men, hucksters, and charlatans you'll ever meet. Chief among them, Jamie Lockhart (Pasquale)-fair-faced gentleman by day, hard-hearted bandit of the woods by night. When he falls for the beautiful daughter of a wealthy planter, his world and code of ethics are turned upside down.
Pasquale returns to Roundabout following the one?night?only gala concert reading of A Little Night Music. He was seen this summer in the Encores! production of The Wild Party and as "Billy Bigelow" in Chicago Lyric Opera's production of Carousel. He most recently starred on Broadway in The Bridges of Madison County (Drama Desk, Drama League nominations) and his extensive New York credits include Far From Heaven (Playwrights Horizons), The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures (Public Theater), A Soldier's Play (Second Stage), A Man of No Importance (Lincoln Center; Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle nominations), Beautiful Child (Vineyard Theater), Spinning Into Butter (Lincoln Center), The Spitfire Grill (Playwrights Horizons) and The Wild Party (Manhattan Theater Club). Steven has also appeared in The Grapes of Wrath (Carnegie Hall), Miss Saigon (national tour), and originated the role of Fabrizio in The Light in the Piazza (Seattle's Intiman Theatre). Steven is perhaps best known to television audiences as "Sean Garrity" in the hit FX series "Rescue Me," and will return to the FX network next year in Ryan Murphy's highly?anticipated series "American Crime Story." Other television credits include "Do No Harm" and "Up All Night" (NBC), "Over/Under" (USA), "Coma" (A&E), "Six Feet Under" (HBO), Sofia Coppola's "Platinum," and most recently the Emmy?winning series "The Good Wife" (CBS). Film credits include Alien vs. Predator: Requiem, Aurora Borealis, and The Last Run. Steven's solo album, "Somethin' Like Love," was released in 2009.
