THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM at CHICAGO ACADEMY FOR THE ARTS

A rousing, bawdy fairy tale set in the yesteryears of Mississippi, The Robber Bridegroom is the story of the courting of Rosamund, the only daughter of the richest planter in the country, by Jamie Lockhart, a rascally robber of the woods. The proceedings go awry, thanks to an unconventional case of double-mistaken identity. Throw in an evil stepmother intent on Rosamund's demise, her pea-brained henchman and a hostile talking head-in-a-trunk, and you have the recipe for a rollicking romp.

"A sparkling, unusual, immensely invigorating musical."
- New York Times
